Can I call specific generation GC

Question

I'm interested if we can specifically call full GC or level 1 GC ?

Why would you want to do that? – Yuval Itzchakov Sep 02 '16 at 08:24 — Yuval Itzchakov, Sep 02 '16 at 08:24

You may try GC.Collect() and then GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers(); else i don't think it's possible..

Can You please explain why should I call WaitForPendingFinalizers() ? – Davit Karapetyan Sep 03 '16 at 13:51

You can specify the generation when calling Collect method

GC.Collect(1);

As Essigwurst wrote - remember about calling GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers() afterwards. Bare in mind that explicitly collecting is not reccomended because of permormance issues. You can get more information in these threads:
