Topic:	Understanding Garbage Collection Rob Windsor, G6 Consulting www.g6consulting.com I know, you're thinking this session will be just what you need to cure that bout of insomnia! While it's true that Garbage Collection is not a very sexy topic it is one that many .NET developers (especially VB .NET developers) are unfamiliar with. This session will discuss the inner workings of the Garbage Collector and give you strategies to reduce the load put on it thus improving the overall performance of your applications. Specifically we will cover how Garbage Collection works, Finalizers, the Dispose pattern, Weak References and some of the methods of the Garbage Collector object.
