Hi,

The code which runs directly under the control of code manager in CLR is called managed code. So the Garbage collector will take care of memory deallocation,providing security etc.

Then what about the unmanaged code like if pointers are used using the keyword Unsafe within the code. How the memory is deallocated for the same, because all the unmanaged code is executed under the control of operating system.

Thanks,
Prathap.

0	You need to cleanup the memory by your self. Ypu want to dispose the unmanaged code in your code. Using IDisposable interface use can do it. Implement IDisposable interface and write your cleanup code in the below method private void Dispose(bool disposing) { if (!disposed && disposing) { //your clean code disposed = true; } } Nkkppp, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator
