# GC

***

**1. Basic Memory Management**

```csharp
int[] arr = new int[100];  // Allocate memory for an array
arr = null;  // Release memory for the array
```

**2. Automatic Release of Objects**

```csharp
class Person
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

Person person = new Person();
person = null;  // GC will automatically release memory for the object
```

**3. Finalization**

```csharp
class Person
{
    ~Person()
    {
        // Finalization code to release any unmanaged resources
    }
}
```

**4. Weak References**

```csharp
WeakReference weakRef = new WeakReference(new Person());
if (weakRef.IsAlive)
{
    Person person = (Person)weakRef.Target;
}
```

**5. Suppression of Finalization**

```csharp
GC.SuppressFinalize(new Person());
```

**6. Pinning Memory**

```csharp
unsafe
{
    fixed (int* ptr = &value)
    {
        // Perform operations on the pinned memory
    }
}
```

**7. Thread-Local Storage**

```csharp
Thread.SetData(typeof(Person), new Person());
Person person = (Person)Thread.GetData(typeof(Person));
```

**8. JIT Optimization**

```csharp
int sum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)
{
    sum += i;
}
```

// The JIT compiler may optimize the loop by unrolling it and using SIMD instructions.

**9. Memory Profiling**

```csharp
using System.Diagnostics;
PerformanceCounter memCounter = new PerformanceCounter("Memory", "Available MBytes");
Console.WriteLine(memCounter.NextValue());
```

**10. Generating a Garbage Collection Notification**

```csharp
GC.AddMemoryPressure(100000000);
```

**11. Allocating and Releasing a Large Array**

```csharp
long[] arr = new long[1000000000];
arr = null;
```

// This will trigger a full GC.

**12. Using the Collect Method**

```csharp
GC.Collect();
```

// This will force a garbage collection.

**13. Using the GCSettings Property**

```csharp
GCSettings.LatencyMode = GCLatencyMode.Interactive;
```

// This will adjust the latency mode of the GC.

**14. Using the Performance Counters**

```csharp
PerformanceCounter gcCounter = new PerformanceCounter("Memory", "% Time in GC");
Console.WriteLine(gcCounter.NextValue());
```

**15. Using the Diagnostic Tools**

```csharp
Debug.WriteLine("Before GC");
GC.Collect();
Debug.WriteLine("After GC");
```

**16. Using the Memory Cache**

```csharp
MemoryCache cache = MemoryCache.Default;
cache.Add("key", new Person(), DateTimeOffset.Now.AddMinutes(1));
Person person = (Person)cache.Get("key");
```

**17. Using the WeakReference Class**

```csharp
WeakReference weakRef = new WeakReference(new Person());
Person person = (Person)weakRef.Target;
if (person == null)
{
    // The object has been garbage collected
}
```

**18. Using the GCHandle Class**

```csharp
GCHandle handle = GCHandle.Alloc(new Person(), GCHandleType.Weak);
Person person = (Person)handle.Target;
handle.Free();
```

**19. Using the InteropService Class**

```csharp
[DllImport("kernel32.dll", EntryPoint = "VirtualAlloc")]
internal static extern IntPtr VirtualAlloc(IntPtr lpAddress, uint dwSize, uint flAllocationType, uint flProtect);
IntPtr ptr = VirtualAlloc(IntPtr.Zero, 1024, 0x1000, 0x40);
VirtualFree(ptr, 0, 0x8000);
```

**20. Using the MemoryMappedFile Class**

```csharp
MemoryMappedFile mmf = MemoryMappedFile.CreateNew("MyFile", 1024);
mmf.Dispose();
```

**21. Using the ResourceManager Class**

```csharp
ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager("MyNamespace.MyResource", Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
string message = rm.GetString("MyKey");
```

**22. Using the SafeHandle Class**

```csharp
SafeHandle handle = new SafeHandle(IntPtr.Zero, true);
handle.Dispose();
```

**23. Using the StreamWriter Class**

```csharp
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter("MyFile.txt");
writer.WriteLine("Hello World!");
writer.Close();
```

**24. Using the StringReader Class**

```csharp
StringReader reader = new StringReader("Hello World!");
string line = reader.ReadLine();
```

**25. Using the TextReader Class**

```csharp
TextReader reader = new StreamReader("MyFile.txt");
string line = reader.ReadLine();
```

**26. Using the TextWriter Class**

```csharp
TextWriter writer = new StreamWriter("MyFile.txt");
writer.WriteLine("Hello World!");
```

**27. Using the XmlDocument Class**

```csharp
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load("MyFile.xml");
```

**28. Using the XPathDocument Class**

```csharp
XPathDocument doc = new XPathDocument("MyFile.xml");
XPathNavigator navigator = doc.CreateNavigator();
```

**29. Using the XElement Class**

```csharp
XElement element = new XElement("MyElement", "Hello World!");
```

**30. Using the XDocument Class**

```csharp
XDocument doc = new XDocument(new XElement("MyElement", "Hello World!"));
```

**31. Using the DataSet Class**

```csharp
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
ds.ReadXml("MyFile.xml");
```

```csharp
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.ReadXml("MyFile.xml");
```

**33. Using the DataView Class**

```csharp
DataView dv = new DataView(dt);
dv.Sort = "Name ASC";
```
