Memory allocation for value types...

We know that value types are stored at stack are and reference types are
stored at heap area...

If class is look like this..

class Sample
{
int count;
double sal;
}

class MainEntry
{
static void Main()
{
Sample Obj=new Sample();
}
}


Here where the value types are stored in Sample class?

Thanks,
Veera.
 
Hello veera,

Citing Jon
"Instance variables for a value type are stored in the same context as the
variable that declares the value type. The memory slot for the instance effectively
contains the slots for each field within the instance. That means that a
struct variable declared within a method will always be on the stack, whereas
a struct variable which is an instance field of a class will be on the heap.

Well, you may think you know that, but it's not the truth - or at least
not the whole truth.
If class is look like this..

class Sample
{
int count;
double sal;
}

class MainEntry
{
static void Main()
{
Sample Obj=new Sample();
}
}

On the heap, as part of the data for the object. It's unfortunate that
so many people blithely state that value types are stored on the stack.
See http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/memory.html for more information
on this.
