We’ll re-cap the basics of how garbage collection in .NET works and then discuss the IDisposable interface and the Dispose pattern.

Join me as we talk not only about how to use the pattern but also about how to implement the pattern into your classes.

I first presented this in 2007, where it covered GC internals and the DIsposable pattern. Since then, it's been split into two separate talks, refined and updated many times, and includes feedback directly from the Microsoft team responsible for the GC.
