Introducing a 'Finalize' method can interfere with destructor invocation. Did you intend to declare a destructor?

This warning occurs when you create a class with a method whose signature is `public virtual void Finalize`.
The compiler issues this warning when you declare a method with the signature `void Finalize()`.
Comment thread
adegeo marked this conversation as resolved.

If such a class is used as a base class and if the deriving class defines a finalizer, the finalizer will override the base class `Finalize` method, not <xref:System.Object.Finalize*>.
A method named `Finalize` can interfere with finalizer invocation. To define a finalizer, declare `~TypeName()` instead of a `Finalize` method. For more information, see [Finalizers](../../programming-guide/classes-and-structs/finalizers.md).
