Hi,
Garbage collection is a process of removing the unsed references
of the objects created and are not disposed .It will be
automatically removed and free the memory of the unsed reference
is called Garbage collection.
For Ex.
Dim Objds new Dataset()
here Objds is a object and it the object is not freed by
using the below code
Objds=nothing
or
Objds.Dispose()
will release the memory otherwise
after the object will be disposed after some time it will not be immediately free the memeory of the object.
Regards
JK

The process of transitively tracing through all pointers to
actively used objects in order to locate all objects that
can be referenced, and then arranging to reuse any heap
memory that was not found during this trace. The common
language runtime garbage collector also compacts the memory
that is in use to reduce the working space needed for the heap.
