Dispose

Hi,

Can anyone see a better way of doing this. I have a class that holds an
image as one of it's properties. This image is held in the windows temp
directory. I want to delete it when the class is destroyed. Is Dispose
the best place to do this? Is ~PatientPhoto() OK to call dispose?




public Bitmap Photo
{
    get{ return _Photo;}
    set{ _Photo = value;}
}

~PatientPhoto()
{
    Dispose();
}

public void Dispose()
        {
            if(Photo != null)
            {
                if (Photo.Tag != null)
                {
                    string FileLoc = Photo.Tag.ToString();

                    ///Delete the photo file as it is stored in a
temporary file in the windows temp directory
                    if (File.Exists(FileLoc))
                    {
                        Photo.Dispose();
                        Photo = null;
                        
                        try
                        {
                            File.Delete(FileLoc);
                        }
                        catch (IOException e)
                        {
 
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(e.Message);
                        } 
                    }
                }
            }
            
        }
