Difference Between Dispose and Finalize

Dispose Method is used for releasing the Unmanaged Resources that hold by any application.
Finalize Method is used for cleaning up the Memory and Resources that is no longer in use.
Below is the Tabular Representation of the Differences in Dispose and Finalize.

Sr.No	Dispose	Finalize
1	Dispose is defined in IDisposable Interface	It is Defined in a Object Class
2	It is Used for Releasing up Unmanaged Resources	It is Used for Releasing up Managed Resources.
3	It is faster than Finalize	It is Slower than Dispose
4	Dispose Method is Invoked by Code	Finalize Method is invoked by Garbage Collector
5	The Dispose Method could be Invoked any time	Finalize Method is invoked when reference count goes to zero
6	Dispose Method is declared as Public	Finalize Method is Declared as Protected

The Dispose Method is defined in IDisposable Interface and called explicitly by the programmer to release the Unmanaged resources like forgot to close db connection , handling the files etc whereas Finalize Method is Defined inside Garbage Collector Scope and it called automatically by the Garbage Collector when any resources reference counts goes to Zero , for example any Class has a Object but it is never assigned any values , so after a long time garbage collector will identify it and will release the Object. We can also excplicitly called the Finalize Method by program.
Dispose Method is declared as Public whereas Finalize Method is Declared as Protected.
Dispose Method is faster than Finalize Method.
The Finalize Method is Defined in Object Class whereas Dispose Method is Defined in IDisposable Interface.
Dispose Method is Invoked by Code whereas Finalize Method is invoked by Garbage Collector.
The Dispose Method could be Invoked any time whereas Finalize Method is Inviked by Garbage Collector.

Below is the Example Code for Dispose Method to call.
