Hi,

Does anyone know the reason?

Thanks,

Once you've got a virtual Dispose(bool) method, there's no need for the
normal Dispose to remain virtual, and keeping it so could lead to
inappropriate implementations which didn't call base.Dispose() - or
which called Dispose(bool) themselves as well as base.Dispose().
