In C#, how can a class do its own application-end finalization in a way that works under both ASP.Net and non-web applications?

Question

I have a library class used in ASP.Net and non-web applications that needs end-of-application finalization.

Within my project's library, I want the class to do its own end-of-application finalization without requiring a developer to add a call to Global.Application_End or AppDomain.CurrentDomain.ProcessExit.

How can this be done?

Additional background/rationale:

Even if I were to consider those options, it appears that AppDomain.CurrentDomain.ProcessExit does not get called when an ASP .Net application is stopped in IIS. And Global.Application_End is specific to ASP .Net. So, neither option is compatible with both situations.

If it helps to have a specific example of why this might be needed... In this particular case, it uses SqlDependency which (as I understand it) requires a call to SqlDependency.Start for initialization and a call to SqlDependency.Stop before application termination.

It appears that a simulated static fianalizer described in this SO answer, https://stackoverflow.com/a/256278/449837 , works in both web and non-web applications.

Here's a sample that I have working:

public class ClassThatNeedsStaticFinalizer {

    // ... other class properties, methods, etc ...     

    #region Static Finalizer Emulation

    static readonly Finalizer finalizer = new Finalizer();
    private sealed class Finalizer
    {
        ~Finalizer()
        {
             //  ... Do final stuff here ...
        }
    }

    #endregion
}

(NOTE: For some code scratchpad environments like LinqPad, ~Finalizer may not fire until the scratchpad app itself closes)
