C # garbage collection

Question

Can you garbage collect static objects in C#?

Answer 1

Sanjay Kamath My understanding is static objects are always referenced for the life of the application and therefore not released to be garbage collected.

Answer 2

David Carroll What about Session objects? 🤔

Answer 3

David Carroll session_onstart to session_onend

Answer 4

David Carroll Well... What is an object in an application without a Life-Cycle? 🚴

Answer 5

I'm assuming you're referring to ASP.NET session state events from System.Web.

However, I'm not making the connection on what that has to do with the garbage collection on static objects in C# or my original response to this question post.

You're going to need to provide clearer context with your followup question, which was simply stated as:

"What about Session Objects?"

To which I can only respond with:

What about them?

Please put a little more effort in your question. It will go a lot smoother when seeking responses. 🤓👌

Answer 6

What do you mean by session object?
