GC Members
.NET Framework 3.0
Controls the system garbage collector, a service that automatically reclaims unused memory.
The following tables list the members exposed by the GC type.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | MaxGeneration | Gets the maximum number of generations that the system currently supports. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| | AddMemoryPressure | Informs the runtime of a large allocation of unmanaged memory that should be taken into account when scheduling garbage collection. |
| | Collect | Overloaded. Forces garbage collection. |
| | CollectionCount | Returns the number of times garbage collection has occurred for the specified generation of objects. |
| | Equals | Overloaded. Determines whether two Object instances are equal. (inherited from Object) |
| | GetGeneration | Overloaded. Returns the current generation number of an object. |
| | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (inherited from Object) |
| | GetTotalMemory | Retrieves the number of bytes currently thought to be allocated. A parameter indicates whether this method can wait a short interval before returning, to allow the system to collect garbage and finalize objects. |
| | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (inherited from Object) |
| | KeepAlive | References the specified object, which makes it ineligible for garbage collection from the start of the current routine to the point where this method is called. |
| | ReferenceEquals | Determines whether the specified Object instances are the same instance. (inherited from Object) |
| | RemoveMemoryPressure | Informs the runtime that unmanaged memory has been released and no longer needs to be taken into account when scheduling garbage collection. |
| | ReRegisterForFinalize | Requests that the system call the finalizer for the specified object for which SuppressFinalize has previously been called. |
| | SuppressFinalize | Requests that the system not call the finalizer for the specified object. |
| | ToString | Returns a String that represents the current Object. (inherited from Object) |
| | WaitForPendingFinalizers | Suspends the current thread until the thread that is processing the queue of finalizers has emptied that queue. |
