I'm porting Delphi code to C#.
In a Delphi class, you cleanup a class instance from the destructor. But in
C#, there is no destructor.
So where do I put cleanup code (such as closing database connection) ?
Should I put the cleanup code in Finalize() ?
Can I explicitely call Finalize() when I'm done with an object ?
I don't want the cleanup code to be called when the object instance is 
garbage collected. I want it to be executed when I'm done with the object 
instance.

Maybe a better design is to create my Cleanup() method and call it from
where I used to call Delphi's destructor ?

Any advice appreciated.
