Hi,

I'm new to C# and .NET, ,and have been reading around about it.

I need to know why and when do I need to release resources? Doesn't the garbage collector take care of everything? When do I need to implement IDisposable, and how is it different from destructor in C++?

Also, if my program is rather small i.e. a screensaver, do I need to care about releasing resources?

Thanks.
