How to force garbage collection in C#?
Yes it is possible to force garbage collector in C# to run by calling Collect() method
This is not considered a good practice because this might create a performance over head. Collect() Forces an immediate garbage collection of all generations.
Collect(Int32)Forces an immediate garbage collection from generation 0 through a specified generation.
Example
using System; class MyGCCollectClass{ private const int maxGarbage = 1000; static void Main(){ // Put some objects in memory. MyGCCollectClass.MakeSomeGarbage(); Console.WriteLine("Memory used before collection: {0:N0}", GC.GetTotalMemory(false)); // Collect all generations of memory. GC.Collect(); Console.WriteLine("Memory used after full collection: {0:N0}", GC.GetTotalMemory(true)); } static void MakeSomeGarbage(){ Version vt; // Create objects and release them to fill up memory with unused objects. for(int i = 0; i < maxGarbage; i++){ vt = new Version(); } } }
