Outdated article

Description

Hi!

The information regarding finalizers seem outdated. It should be clearly documented that the preferred pattern is always using IDisposable and if there are any system classes in the .NET (core or framework) library those types should be explicitly mentioned. For instance, FileStream is used as an example but it has been revised to correctly use the IDisposable pattern.

Best Regards,
Stefan
