In an object-oriented environment every object than been created by the following steps:

1. Allocate memory for the type that represents the resource.
2. Initialize the memory to set the initial state of the resource and to make the resource usable.
3. Use the resource by accessing the instance members of the type (repeat as necessary).
4. Tear down the state of the resource to clean up.
5. Free the memory.

In the common language runtime (CLR), the garbage collector serves as an automatic memory manager. It provides the following benefits:

1.Enables you to develop your application without having to free memory.

2.Allocates objects on the managed heap efficiently.

3.Reclaims objects that are no longer being used, clears their memory, and keeps the memory available for future allocations. Managed objects automatically get clean content to start with, so their constructors do not have to initialize every data field.

4.Provides memory safety by making sure that an object cannot use the content of another object.
