Inner workings of the .NET garbage collector?

Question

I've read detailed papers about the inner workings of the various garbage collectors in the JVM, but I've had trouble finding the same level of details for .NET's runtime...

Anyone have links to good articles/research/pages on .NET's garbage collector?

Answer 1

Garbage Collection.

Also check Garbage Collector Basics and Performance Hints.

Also definitely worth reading Jeffrey Richters articles in GvS answer.
