Thjis still does not work:
public class Foo: IDisposable
public void Dispose()
{
    Dispose(true);
    GC.SuppressFinalize(this);
}
protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
    if(disposing)
    {
        StopDoingThis()
    }
}
~Foo()
{
    Dispose(false);
}
public Foo()
{
    StartDoingThis();
}

StartDoingThis()
{
    Console.Write("Stop");
}
StartDoingThis()
{
    Console.Write("Start");
}

}

public class Caller
{
    public Caller()
{
    Foo f = new Foo();
}
}

While running Caller it appears:
"Start" and the program exits. How to make it writing "Stop". What I'm doing
wrong?

Thank you
