Abstract
Programming in the managed world comprises the programming language used, the libraries (called the Base Class Library [BCL]), and the CLR itself. The BCL is the gateway to the platform on which the program will be executed. The BCL provides all the APIs for programming and is organized under various namespaces corresponding to the service intended—file system, memory, network, user interface, process and threads, and so forth. One of the several facilities in managed programming is automatic memory management—allocation is our wish, deallocation is automatically taken care of by the CLR by a process called “Garbage Collection.”
