Memory Leaks and Resource Management
It is well documented that memory management is critical in ensuring that applications run efficiently, smoothly, and without undue resource consumption. The need to ensure that this is adequately handled has led to automated management systems, as seen in development frameworks such as Java and .NET.
Understanding and managing memory and resources is vital for building robust, scalable, and performance-optimized applications. Memory leaks occur when a program fails to release memory that is no longer needed, gradually consuming more system resources and potentially leading to application slowdowns or crashes.
This chapter delves into the nuances of memory leaks and resource management in .NET development. It comprehensively explores their significance, the advantages and disadvantages of various management techniques, and the best practices for developers. We will explore key concepts and mitigation methods such as the following:
