Garbage Collection is the process done by the CLR that searches memory for areas of inactive data and instruction in order to reclaim that space for the general memory pool (the heap). Operating systems may or may not provide this feature.

The collective name for the thousands of classes that compose the .NET Framework is called FCL.

This is a block of program statements that will be executed regardless if an exception is thrown or not. A finally block is typically associated with a try/catch block, although finally could be used if catch block does not present.

Finalize is a class-only method that is automatically called when an object is destroyed by the garbage collector. The Finalize method is primarily used to free up unmanaged resources allocated by the object before the object itself is removed from memory. A Finalize method is not needed when only managed resources are used by the object, which are …

An event handler is called in response …
Exceptions are an inevitable part of the development process, and applications should handle exceptions gracefully to avoid damaging your application’s credibility with users. You can even log exceptions and use that information to your advantage to help identify problem areas and manage user perception by responding to issues before customers have a chance to contact you to complain.

In traditional OOP, a destructor is a class method that is called when an object goes out of scope. In .NET languages, the destructor method is instead called when the object is garbage collected by the CLR—which happens at some indeterminate time after an object goes out of scope. In C#, the destructor is actually a syntactic mapping …
