Can I detect when garbage collection starts in .NET?

Question

Monitoring garbage collector in C #

I would like to know how often garbage collection is done in my C # application so that I can register timestamps for later analysis.

Maybe some kind of event or something similar that starts before or after garbage collection, so that I know when exactly the garbage collection occurred?

Answer 1

Look at performance monitor (perfmon) and memory performance counters
