RemarksThe finalizer of this class will NOT close the handle if it is still open, because finalization can run on a separate thread from the application, resulting in potential problems if handles are closed from that thread. It is best that the handle be closed manually as soon as it is no longer needed, as leaving lots of unused handles open can degrade performance.
