The following example forces a garbage collection for generation 2 objects with the Optimized setting.

using System;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        GC.Collect(2, GCCollectionMode.Optimized);
    }
}

open System

GC.Collect(2, GCCollectionMode.Optimized)

Class Program

    Public Shared Sub Main()
        GC.Collect(2, GCCollectionMode.Optimized)
    End Sub
End Class

Remarks

Use the GC.Collect method overload to specify the GCCollectionMode value.
