Class and Structure

[RicoCali]

I have been experimenting with Class and Structure and really don't see any difference. Can someone explain to me the difference?

since .net there isnt much difference I think it still there for backward compatability

Structures support many of the same features as classes. For example, structures can have properties and methods, they can implement interfaces, and they can have parameterized constructors. However, there are significant differences between structures and classes in areas such as inheritance, declarations, and usage.

There is a BIG difference. When an object, which is a Reference Type, is passed ByVal, the reference for the object is passed and thus changes made through the ByVal argument still affect the original object. When a structure, which is a Value Type, is passed ByVal, changes made to the values in the structure do not affect the original structure values. However, changes made to objects referenced in the structure DO affect the original object except that if you change the reference in the passed structure, the original structure will not be affected. You will notice that Framework uses structures such as Color, Point, Rectangle etc. usually ONLY as read-only. The values in the structure can usually only be set by the NEW constructor.
