    Garbage Collection - Part 1: Automatic Memory Management in the Microsoft .NET Framework
    MSDN
    Garbage collection in the Microsoft .NET common language runtime environment completely absolves the developer from tracking memory usage and knowing when to free memory. However, you'll want to understand how it works. Part 1 of this two-part article on .NET garbage collection explains how resources are allocated and managed, then gives a detailed step-by-step description of how the garbage collection algorithm works. Also discussed are the way resources can clean up properly when the garbage collector decides to free a resource's memory and how to force an object to clean up when it is freed.
    Garbage Collection - Part 2: Automatic Memory Management in the Microsoft .NET Framework
    MSDN
    The first part of this two-part article explained how the garbage collection algorithm works, how resources can clean up properly when the garbage collector decides to free a resource's memory, and how to force an object to clean up when it is freed. The conclusion of this series explains strong and weak object references that help to manage memory for large objects, as well as object generations and how they improve performance. In addition, the use of methods and properties for controlling garbage collection, resources for monitoring collection performance, and garbage collection for multithreaded applications are covered.

    In this article we would like to discuss one of the primary advantages of .NET framework - the ease in memory and resource management.
    Gozer the Destructor
    MSDN
    Of all the topics that trouble C++ programmers who consider C#, probably the most volatile is C#'s lack of true synchronous or deterministic destructors.
    Using ILDASM to view custom destructors in C#
    The Code Project
    I find C# a very interesting language and I find it handy to analyze the MSIL code generated by C# code.
