When an instance is destructed, the destructors in its inheritance chain are called, in order, from most derived to least derived. In vb.net you can overide the finalize method and it is upto you to include a call to Mybase.Finalize. So it is possible that the derived finalize is the only finalize to be called. In c# you cannot explicitly override the finalize method and the compiler will place a call to it in the destructor, so it is imposible to forget to cal base.finalize
