How can I write a method that is called when an object goes out of
scope? I've looked all over, so far I've only found discussions of how
to write methods that don't = )

You cannot, because .NET uses like java a nondeterministi c garbage
collector, which means the system does *not* know when exactly your objects
are go out of scope. It inspects sometimes all objects if they are still
reachable, and sweep away the rest.
But you can provide a finalizer (a destructor in C#) which will be called
when an object is *collected*. Though there are some things pay attention to
and you should rarely use finalizer as they affect negatively your programs
performance.

Objects don't go out of scope - variables do.
You can write a finalizer which will be called before the object is
garbage collected, but that will happen at some time after the object
is no longer referenced. It may not even happen at all.
Why do you need to do this? If it's for resource clean-up, you should
implement the IDispoable interface.

Look up the using() command and the IDisposable pattern.
With these you will get a call when the object leaves the using()-scope, and
it is even exception-save.

Just a clarification: implementing IDisposable will not automatically cause
any sort of call when a variable goes out of scope or an object is
collected(unles s there is a finalizer of course). It is just a standard
pattern which you should use and call manually, usually by using the using
statement.

The garbage handler in the .NET framework is handy. When objects fall out of
scope, they are automatically destroyed, and the programmer doesn't have to
worry about deallocating the memory space for those objects. In fact, all
the programmer has to worry about is the total sum of objects loaded into
RAM at any known point. Memory leaks are not a problem.

I understand the IDisposable interface and how the using instruction
will call the Dispose method of an object.
What if a reference to an object is passed to a 2nd thread? And the
object contains a handle to an open file. The Dispose( ) method closes
the handle.
How would the Dispose( ) method called from the end of the using block
in the 1st thread know that references to the object still exists in
other threads?
