WeakReference::IsAlive Property
.NET Framework (current version)
Gets an indication whether the object referenced by the current WeakReference object has been garbage collected.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Property Value
Type: System::Booleantrue if the object referenced by the current WeakReference object has not been garbage collected and is still accessible; otherwise, false.
Because an object could potentially be reclaimed for garbage collection immediately after the IsAlive property returns true, using this property is not recommended unless you are testing only for a false return value.
