Finalize times out during shutdown

[Jack]

It seems that if Finalize takes more than 2 seconds during
the process shutdown, the process will just terminate
anyway. How can I specifically tells GC that this guy's
clean up does suppose to take that long so that please
wait until I finish my job gracefully?

Yes.

I don't know that there's any way of doing that during shutdown - if
you've got something to finish, it would be much better to do it before
you start the shutdown process.

Hi Jack

No, there's no way to change the Finalizer timeout. This is to avoid an object's finalizer from starving other finalizers, or causing the runtime to hang.

You should consider using the Dispose pattern to free up any resources before shutdown, and then you can take as long as you need to.

Hope that helps
