Dispose

When I write classes in C# then implement them as follows:

ETrainingDemo.Classes.NewsLetterRecipient objRecipient = new ETrainingDemo.Classes.NewsLetterRecipient();

objRecipient.Firstname = Firstname.Text;
objRecipient.Surname = Surname.Text;
objRecipient.Email = Email.Text;
objRecipient.Add()

If I want to kill the object straight away rather than relying on the garbage collector, what is the best way to do this.  Is there a command like Set object = Nothing?  Should I build dispose code into my class, should I inherit a Dispose Interface?

Any thoughts, ideas please?

Thanks

Thanks, that all makes sense and is a great help.  How do I overide the destructor though?  I'm not really sure what this means.

Thanks

Sorry for confusing...
Not really overriding it.  Just implement the destructor like this would do it:

~NewsLetterRecipient()
{
    Dispose();
}

Regards.
