Memory allocation in C#

hasiabdu

Does anyone know how C# does the memory allocation for objects, and how methods are implemented? For example, C++ uses virtual method tables, and in Java objects contain a pointer to their class, with fields containing all the methods, and a field point to the superclass for the class. In addition, C++ uses static space allocation and slicing, whereas Java uses dynamic space allocation. How are these isses addressed in C#?

C# allocates object in a memory space called as "managed heap".Memory is managed by automatic garbage collection feature of .NET. All the information regarding types,methods are stored in the metadata of the assembly.If u see IL of any application, u will find the metadata token showing address where class or method definition information is stored.At runtime CLR uses this address to locate the definitions Hope it helps:)
