Garbage Collectors

Question

Why do we need to use Garbage Collectors?

Ali Haider · Answer

The .NET Framework's garbage collector manages the allocation and release of memory for your application. Each time you create a new object the common language runtime allocates memory for the object from the managed heap. As long as address space is available in the managed heap the runtime continues to allocate space for new objects. However memory is not infinite. Eventually the garbage collector must perform a collection in order to free some memory. The garbage collector's optimizing engine determines the best time to perform a collection based upon the allocations being made. When the garbage collector performs a collection it checks for objects in the managed heap that are no longer being used by the application and performs the necessary operations to reclaim their memory. please visit this site
