Confusing description on DerivedClass

[stcmz]

The section of Implementing the dispose pattern for a derived class doesn't mention why the pattern is to be applied.
IMHO, at least two understandings are possible:

1. because the derived class itself uses some unmanaged resources. That means if otherwise, there is no reason to apply the dispose pattern in the derived class.
2. because the base class implements IDisposable. If so, all subclasses of a disposable base class need to apply the dispose pattern.

@stcmz #1 is correct. The intro paragraph would be clearer if it said "Instead, to release resources of a derived class..." rather than "Instead, to implement the dispose pattern for a derived class..."
