Hi

When exactly the GC starts collecting garbage?? (other than invoking the
Dispose method)
 
Hi,

Calling Dispose does not invoke the GC. The GC is invoked when an a
reference type is created with the new operator and there is not a
contiguous chunk of memory big enough for that object. GC.Collect will
invoke the GC as well. See the following article for more details.

Hello VBA,

1) When u call Collect method
2) When the threshold of GC is overcome

There is a 3rd case when GC starts working but can't remember
