What are the differences between Dispose and Finalize?

Answer»

Dispose: - Dispose helps to RELEASE the object resources from the object and not access them again. It basically helps in external memory clean up.it uses the Dispose() method to free up all its expensive resources and making it for REUSE, and IDisposable interface is used which decides where and how Dispose() is used.
Finalize :- If Dispose is not CALLED then Finalize() method is called for the CLEANUP, when we don’t want to clean up the memory immediately and want to de-allocating the memory later we use Finalization. If Dispose does not CALL, then garbage collector uses the finalize() method.
