C# in a Nutshell

Name

GCHandleType

Synopsis

This enumeration contains values for the two-argument form of GCHandle.Alloc(). Normal protects the object from being garbage collected, and Pinned does the same (but it also enables the GCHandle.AddrOfPinnedObject() method). Weak and WeakTrackResurrection both allow the object to be garbage collected. However, Weak causes the object to be zeroed out before the finalizer runs, but WeakTrackResurrection does not zero the object, so the object’s finalizer can safely resurrect it.

public enum GCHandleType {
   Weak = 0,
   WeakTrackResurrection = 1,
   Normal = 2,
   Pinned = 3
}
