----------------------------------------------------------- From: CSharpMadhu Message 2 in Discussion Hi ! Depending on the age of the object, they are classified into generations. Older objects fall under generations 2 and 1, and newer objects come under generation 0. The whole point of having generations is simply to enhance the performance of Garbage Colection process. Everytime the GC collects, instead of doing a full collect, it partially collects, by collecting only the youngest generation. Doing a full collect would significantly affect the performance of the GC, whereas collecting only Gen 0 would make it much faster. In cases where doing a collect on Gen 0 is just not enough (not enough memory is freed) then the next gen (Gen 1) would be collected.
