Question

who will call gc?

Jignesh Trivedi · Answer

Hi, As per my knowledge, GC is not running continuously. whenever any .net program trying to allocate memory in managed heap and there is no enough free memory to create new object at this time GC will collect memory object which is already out of scoped. Please refer http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/bb985010.aspx hope this will help you.

Vulpes · Answer

It's called periodically and automatically by the Common Language Runtime (CLR). It's generally best to leave the CLR to do this in its own time. However, you can force an immediate garbage collection by calling the GC.Collect method.
