How the Garbage Collector works - Part 1 (dotnetfacts.blogspot.com)

submitted by eugenciuta(715) 1 year, 9 months ago

The Garbage Collector (GC) can be considered the heart of the .NET Framework. It manages the allocation and release of memory for any .NET application. In order to create good .NET applications, we must know how the Garbage Collector (GC) works. read more...

Things you MUST dispose (dotnetfacts.blogspot.com)

published 1 year, 10 months ago, submitted by eugenciuta(715) 1 year, 10 months ago

When the .NET Framework instantiates an object, it allocates memory for that object on the managed heap. The object remains on the heap until it's no longer referenced by any active code, at which point the memory it's using is reclamed by the Garbage Collector (GC). Before the GC deallocates the memory, the framework calls the object's Finalize() method, but developers are responsible for calling the Dispose() method. read more...

Top 20 .NET Garbage Collection Articles (drowningintechnicaldebt.com)

published 2 years, 7 months ago, submitted by dbottjer(310) 2 years, 7 months ago

Ah. Garbage Collection... how I love and hate thee. =P I think one sad thing about programming in .net is that it seems many developers don't know or care anything about garbage collection and memory management. You used to *have* to know about it in order to write bug free code. I suppose it is a two edge sword in that developers can develop faster as the intention was to relieve developers of the need to know or care anything about memory management. I personally have always tried to follow best practices for implementation and have tried to stay somewhat cautious of issues related to memory. I've been fortunate in never really having any memory management related issues in my previous applications. However, there, but for the grace of God, I too could go. read more...

Managing unmanaged memory (rajkwatra.blogspot.com)

submitted by rajkwatra(245) 2 years, 8 months ago

The title of this post might seem confusing. Garbage Collector (or GC) in .Net is designed to take care of managed memory only, so what do you do in a case where you have a managed object that itself takes very small amount of memory but allocates significant amount of unmanaged resources? In that case.... read more...
