Re: Problem with C# not calling MC++ destrcutor

I'm pretty surprised to hear that it is possible for my Finalizers to
not be called at shutdown. If I am being required to manually free up my
resources, what is the point of GC?

GC is here to clean up unreferenced _memory_. You should deal with other
(unmanaged) resources using the dispose pattern in C#. There has been a long
thread recently (named C++/CLI is the way to go) where a reference counted
model for disposing unused resources in C# has been proposed.

Can you show us your finalizers? My guess is you are trying to use them the
way they were not meant to be.
