Is there a way to invoke the garbage collector on a specific object within managed memory from an application?
e.g. (in pseudo-code)
Read myString from file;
perform arbitrary operation on myString;
invoke garbage-collector to remove myString
GC.Collect() it’ll tell it to run a collection. But, it won’t collect specific objects. The GC is non-deterministic in relation to which objects are collected or not and when.
