can we call the garbage collector to run explicicitly?..

Answer / prateek

But forcefully calling Garbage collector reduces the
performance. As when CLR runs Garbage collector
automatically it checks all the objects which are not used
for a long time and remove them. But if we use
System.GC.Collect(), it will shift the particular object to
cache. When CLR founds no object which is made to be free
then it will check the cache memory from there it will
remove that very object. So, how it is reducing the performance.

Answer / lalitprakash baraik

Yes it is possible.The Gargabe collector class is named as GC and is found in the 'System' namespace.GC is a static class and the Collect method itself is static.There fore you can directly call the Collect() method without creation of an object to access the method.

GC.Collect()
