Abstract
This is the last chapter of this book. We have seen, so far, many various topics related to .NET memory management - including a comprehensive description of how, in fact, Garbage Collector in .NET works. Other important topics were also described, including resource management with the help of finalization and disposable objects, various types of handles, usage of structs or many diagnostic scenarios, and practical advice related to all of that. At this moment we should feel quite comfortable in the memory management topic, although the amount of knowledge could be a little overwhelming so going back to at least some parts of the book is fully understandable and advisable.

Notes
- 1.
Strictly speaking, since there could be any number of things that happen between explicitly triggering a GC and calling GetTotalMemory method, some objects could also have become unreachable, unless there’s no other threads running.
- 2.
To use those properties, we have to enable Application Domain Resource Monitoring - refer to MSDN for ways of doing that.
- 3.
We should get used to numbering COM interfaces as it is a canonical way of taking care of backward compatibility. Instead of modifying an existing interface, a new one is added with an increased number.
- 4.
For brevity, only the most relevant parts of code are presented in the subsequent examples. Refer to the accompanying GitHub repository to get full, working examples.
