Always force GC before taking snapshot

• 
  Hi Miha,
  
  Taking a snapshot does force a garbage collection when you are memory profiling with ANTS Profiler. The only objects that should survive a snapshot, in addition to the objects that are still referenced, are objects that are pending finalization.

  Hi Brian,
  
  Is this implicit GC same as the one that Force GC does?

  Taking a snapshot does the same sort of garbage collection that the Force CG button does -- basically ANTS Profiler calls GC.Collect() before taking a snapshot.

  OK that makes sense and it is what I was asking for.
