Reliance on finalizers is a sign of extremely poor application design. First, it can be a significant performance hit, since objects with finalizers have to be handled specially both by allocation and garbage collection. Second, there's no guarantee that a finalizer will _ever_ be called, so if you're dependent on that happening, you're in trouble right from the start. Much better to design your app with discrete event handling and not leave it up to the whims of the garbage collector. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
