Objects rarely need to clean up after themselves in a deterministic fashion

Trey,
Sorry for my extended rants, looks like I misunderstood your posts -- there
are many misconceptions about the role of C# destructors / finalizers and
IDispose floating about, so that's what I was trying to clear up. But since
you already know what you're doing I'm afraid I can't offer much

Up front, I was wondering if the C++ managed extensions package provides
anything such as the C# 'using' statement to make use of the IDispose
easier. Some
