When I declare and use Finalize() method the NullReferenceException is 
thrown

Steps to reproduce the problem:

using System;

public class A {
 public A() {
  Console.WriteLine( "Object a created!" );
 }
 public static void Finalize() {
  Console.WriteLine( "Object a finalized!" );
 }
}

public class B {

  A a = new A();
  A.Finalize();
 }
}
