Value Types, References Types, and the Assignment Operator

When you assign one value type to another, a member-by-member copy of the field data is

achieved. In the case of a simple data type such as System.Int32, the only member to copy is the

numerical value. However, in the case of our Point, the X and Y values are copied into the new

structure variable. To illustrate, create a new Console Application project named

ValueAndReferenceTypes and copy your previous Point definition into your new namespace.

Now, add the following method to your Program type:

C H A P T E R   4  

■

C O R E   C #   P R O G R A M M I N G   C O N S T R U C T S, PA RT   I I
