sample C# code for Value vs Reference Types

gistfile1.cs

Point myPoint = new Point (0, 0);      // a new value-type variable
Form myForm = new Form();              // a new reference-type variable
Test (ref myPoint, ref myForm);        // pass myPoint and myForm by reference

void Test (ref Point p, ref Form f)
{
      p.X = 100;                       // This will change myPoint’s position
      f.Text = “Hello, World!”;        // This will change MyForm’s caption
      f = null;                        // This will nuke the myForm variable!
}
