GC Method (IWorkbookSet)


SpreadsheetGear Namespace > IWorkbookSet Interface : GC Method
Attempts to optimize the amount and layout of memory used by this workbook set.
Syntax
'Declaration
 

Sub GC() 
'Usage
 

Dim instance As IWorkbookSet
 
instance.GC()
void GC()
Remarks

In the normal course of creating and modifying workbooks, data structures are frequently allocated with more space than necessary to reduce the time spent growing them. GC attempts to reduce the size of these data structures, potentially saving a significant amount of memory.

Memory can also become fragmented. GC attempts to group related objects closer together which can improve performance of calculations for certain workbooks. As a general rule it is best to call GC once after at least one, and possibly multiple calls to CalculateFull.

The best way to find the optimal use of GC for your workbooks is by benchmarking your real world cases.
