public static void Main()
{
string result;
if (GCSettings.IsServerGC)
result = "server";
else
result = "workstation";
Console.WriteLine("The {0} garbage collector is running.", result);
}
}
// The example displays output like the following:
// The workstation garbage collector is running.
Imports System.Runtime
Class Sample
Public Shared Sub Main()
Dim result As String
If GCSettings.IsServerGC = True Then
result = "server"
Else
result = "workstation"
End If
Console.WriteLine("The {0} garbage collector is running.", result)

Remarks
For information about server garbage collection, see Workstation and Server Garbage Collection.
If server garbage collection is not enabled, workstation garbage collection is in effect (with or without concurrent collection). Server garbage collection is available only on multiprocessor computers.
An unmanaged host can request server garbage collection, and the host request overrides configuration file settings. If the host does not specify the type of garbage collection, you can use a configuration setting to specify server garbage collection. For more information, see Configure workstation vs. server.
