Static Finalizer

Herfried Wagner has written an excellent article explaining how to implement this – alas, in German (and VB). Still, the code should be understandable.

I’ve tried it:

static readonly Finalizer finalizer = new Finalizer();

sealed class Finalizer {
  ~Finalizer() {
    Thread.Sleep(1000);
    Console.WriteLine("one");
    Thread.Sleep(1000);
    Console.WriteLine("two");
    Thread.Sleep(1000);
    Console.WriteLine("three");
    Thread.Sleep(1000);
    Console.WriteLine("four");
    Thread.Sleep(1000);
    Console.WriteLine("five");
  }
}

It seems to work exactly the same way as the AppDomain.ProcessExit event does: the finalizer gets ca. three seconds…
