String Constant Memory pool in C#

Question

Everybody knows that in .Net framework String objects are directly stored in heap memory

I am just trying to understand if there is any reserved memory in .Net framework for Strings. In java there is a reserved memory for strings called SCMP(String Constant Memory Pool) where strings are initialized and garbage collected just like other objects in heap memory.

Answer 1

I dont think there is anything like that in .Net.

Instead I have read this and its interesting how Strings are used:

The CLR maintains a table called the intern pool that contains the literal strings in a program. This ensures that repeated use of the same constant strings in your code will utilize the same string reference. The System.String class provides an Intern method that ensures a string is in the intern pool and returns the reference to it.

Also check this MSDN:-

We have seen numerous scenarios where the managed heap contains the same string repeated thousands of times. The result is a big working set where much of the memory is consumed by strings. In this situation, it is often better to use string interning.
