C# question: What is a Weak Reference
Q
In C#, what is a weak reference?

Generally, when you talk about a reference to an object in .NET (and in most other garbage collected languages), you are talking about a "strong" reference. As long as that reference exists, the garbage collector won't collect the object behind that reference. A weak reference is a special type of reference where the garbage collector can still collect the underlying object, even though you still technically have a reference to it.
