CSharpCodeProvider does not generate ~BaseElement

This does not work as expected:

CodeMemberMethod finalize = new CodeMemberMethod();
finalize.Name = "Finalize";
finalize.Attributes = MemberAttributes.Override | MemberAttributes.FamilyOrAssembly;
finalize.ReturnType = new CodeTypeReference(typeof(void));
finalize.Statements.Add(new CodeMethodInvokeExpression(
     new CodeMethodReferenceExpression(
         new CodeThisReferenceExpression(), "Dispose"), new CodePrimitiveExpression(false)));

What I want:

~BaseElement()
{
 Dispose(false);
}

What I get, which isn't valid in C#:

protected internal override void Finalize()
{
   this.Dispose(false);
}

I've tried using MemberAttributes.Family, but that doesn't help.

A temporary workaround would be:

CodeSnippetTypeMember finalize = new CodeSnippetTypeMember("~" +
                                    Name + "() { Dispose(false); }");

Where Name obviously is the name of the class, but that only works for C#

Ideas anyone?

As I see, the code generator has deep knowledge about the compiler - and that is quite straightforward. If you look at this MSDN page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/66x5fx1b.aspx[^], you will notice, that the code generator is skipping a step, and it is generating the code that the compiler would also make.

Quote:
The destructor implicitly calls Finalize on the base class of the object. Therefore, the previous destructor code is implicitly translated to the following code:

...and there it comes what you get.
So you have a problem only if you want that syntax for some reason - since the semantics will be the same.
