How to free an object ?

[craigkenisston]

Hi,

I've read recently some comments regarding one should always release
the objects when they're not longer to be used, regardless they are
going to be recollected by the GC at some point.

So, I have a tiny class library with some utilities, Im descending my
classes directly from Object class.
I can't find nothing like Free/Destroy/Disposes in this classes I'm
creating.

So, what do I need to implement in order to be able to manually dispose
my classes instances ?

You can implement the Dispose pattern. But you typically only do this if
you're holding references to unmanaged resources (hWnds, open database
connections, etc.) inside your class.
