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();
}
}
}
