Garbage Collector in c#

The garbage collector (GC) is mainly derived from the Base library – “System”, we can simply say, I would like to Compare Garbage Collector with an Traffic Police Man, Because a Traffic Policeman will clear the traffic in the road, when an unwanted issue happening on a road and make road as hassle free road for the people, Like wise Garbage collector will act as Memory manger to deallocate the memory when it is consumed by unwanted or unused object in a program and make the application to run properly without any deviation in a performance.
Generation of Garbage Collector:
1.     Generation 0
2.     Generation 1
3.     Generation 2
1.     Gen 0 è (Temporary Variables) - Life time of object is short time, then Gen 0 Will take care of clearing and releasing the object from Memory. I.e. Simply we can say when it’s a local private variable or the scope is limited to a class then those variable life time would be defined as short span, so it must be cleared by Gen 0.
2.      Gen 1 è (Internal Variables) - Life time of object is between the short time and Long time, then Gen 1 Will take care of clearing and releasing the object from Memory. I.e. Simply we can say when it’s an internal variable or the scope is limited to an object then those variable life time would be defined under Gen 1 Category, so it must be cleared by Gen 1.
3.     Gen 2 è (Application Variables) - Life time of object is Long time, then Gen 1 Will take care of clearing and releasing the object from Memory. I.e. Simply we can say when it’s an Application variable or the scope has no limited then those variable life time would be defined as short span, so it must be cleared by Gen 2.

Advantage
·       We are not responsible for the allocation and deallocation of memory or to define the life span of the objects
·       Whenever an Instance is created then the allocation will be happened and whenever boxing is happened for a value type
·       If no enough memory available, then GC will come into the picture to deallocate the unwanted object consumed memory

Abstract Class And Abstract Methods in C# The Abstract class is a class can contain both Abstract and Non-Abstract Method, to consume the non-Abstract method available in the abstract class then it is required or mandate to implement the abstract method of abstract Class. Abstract Methods  à  Defining the declaration of method I.e. Method without method body and the implementation of this method is available in the child class. Example, abstract   public   class   ParentClass // Parent Class          {              public   abstract   void  Display();              public   void  NormalMethod()              {               ...

Attribute in c# An attribute is mainly derived from the library –  “System.Diagnostics”  but all the attributes were inherited from the Sealed class called Attribute this attribute class were basically implemented with the help of  “System.Relfection and System.Runtime.InteropServices”.  this will help to avoid writing complicated logic to validate the basic details and to restrict the operation to be performed with the properties/class/Methods. What is Attribute in c#? Attribute is used to provide a details information about a property or class or a method and even for structure behavior as well during the run time of an application execution (even for a console application). An Attribute is defined above a class or method or a property will define the functionality of that element. A attribute is defined by  square ([ ]) Brace  used above the required element. The .Net Framework supports 2 attributes types: 1.     ...

Reflection   in C# The Reflection is mainly derived from the Base library –  “System.Reflection ”,  This reflection can be mainly used to specify the details such as meta data, In Other words, Reflection is used to provide the meta details of a property or a class or method. Suppose we have a class to be referred and need to access the object or a method from that class, in this case, we can go for reflection to access the property by providing the valid data about the property and can retrieve the value of the property in our calling class. It will throw error incase we have provided invalid property name or class name or simply the name of element at compile time, but it will throw exception in case of failure at the run time of the application. Example, AssemblyName                  è            Retrieve the unique name of an assembly EventInfo  ...
