In general you don't. You can cause the GC to activate by calling GC.Collect, but it's probably not what you actually need to do.

Instead, you should implement the IDisposable interface on all your classes which contain resources, and always either call Dispose or use a using block on all classes which implement it. Waiting for the GC (or even manually forcing it to activate) is a very poor practice, as well as being a very inefficient way to do things.

Solution 1

Call GC.Collect().

Solution 2

In .NET framework, if the resource is in managed heap, GC takes care of it automatically.
Or implementing Dispose() can serve your purpose.

Solution 4

I would suggest you to instantiate your objects with using block.

It automatically disposes the object after use.
