What is the difference between Finalize() and Dispose() methods?

• Object.Finalize() method releases unmanaged resources but don't assure garbage collection. It is called before the Garbage Collector reclaims the memory. It is also called as a destructor, which is complementary to the constructor, where memory allocation happens.

public class MyClass {
  ~MyClass() {
    // any custom release operations
  }
}

• Dispose() method releases unmanaged resources from the object on which it is called. It is called when the implementing Disposable class is inside a using block.
