Memory View /<>c

[dan.leary]

Snapshot Memory tab

When I look at the class name some of them have /<>c after the name. Does this mean that it is ready for garbage collection? However, when I force a garbage collection and take another snapshot, the class is still there.

e.g.
Snapshot 1 (object expected)
DisplayedCurveGroupControl
DisplayedCurveGroupControl/<>c

Snapshot 2 (object expected to be destroyed)
DisplayedCurveGroupControl/<>c

Snapshot 3 (Forced Garbage Collection and object expected to be destroyed)
DisplayedCurveGroupControl/<>c

When I look at the GC Roots -> Instances of 'DisplayedCurveGroupControl/<>c', it shows System.Object [16320] [GC Handle, Pinning]

No, class names are not related with GC. This rather seems a special generated class name. Could you please write us at support@yourkit.com and provide a download link of the snapshot file. We'll check what this may be.
