Dispose Pattern
The Dispose Pattern is a design approach used in programming to manage resources effectively. It ensures that resources, such as memory or file handles, are released when they are no longer needed. This is particularly important in languages like C# where unmanaged resources can lead to memory leaks if not properly handled.
In the Dispose Pattern, a class implements the IDisposable interface, which includes a method called `Dispose()`. This method is called to free up resources explicitly. Additionally, the pattern often includes a finalizer to ensure resources are released even if `Dispose()` is not called, providing a safety net for resource management.
