Garbage Collection :- CLR automatically manages memory thus eliminating
memory leaks. When objects are not referred GC automatically releases those memories thus providing efficient memory management.

Garbage collection is a CLR feature which automatically manages memory. Programmers forget
to release the objects while coding ..... Laziness (Remember in VB6 where one of the good
practices is to set object to nothing). CLR automatically releases objects when they are no longer in
use and refernced. CLR runs on non-deterministic to see the unused objects and cleans them. One
side effect of this non-deterministic feature is that we cannot assume an object is destroyed when
it goes out of the scope of a function. Therefore, we should not put code into a class destructor
to release resources.
System.GC.Collect() forces garbage collector to run

HI,
The intention of the Garbage Collector is to release the memory of the objects which are not being used.
This will be called automatically when there is no sufficent memory.
And the second case is it will be called automatically on the random basis.
