How do you know that the gc runs

[GG]

Is there a way to know when the garbage collection runs? We would like
to see how an app performs and when various gc levels kick in.

Thanks

I recommend CLR Profiler for that:

If you really want to know exactly when a GC is happening and what kind of
GC it is, you'll have to write your own profiler
(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/cc300553). This requires writing
unmanaged code and is not exactly trivial. It's unlikely to be of more use
than the info CLR Profiler can give you.

Are you talking about a kind of event you can call from your code?
IF so I do not know of any way of doing that.

Externally you can use any of the profilers available.

This is what I am looking for.
