Title
Body
I have still doubts about object . It is the primary base class of anything, any class. But is it reference type or value type. Or like which of these acts it? I need to get this clarified. I have difficulty understanding that. object obj1 = "OldString"; object obj2 = obj1; obj1 = "NewString"; MessageBox.Show(obj1 + " " + obj2); //Output is "NewString OldString" In this case it acts like a value type. If object was reference type then why obj2 value is still "OldString" class SampleClass { public string Text { get; set; } } SampleClass Sample1 = new SampleClass(); Sample1.Text="OldText"; object refer1 = Sample1; object refer2 = refer1; Sample1.Text = "NewText"; MessageBox.Show((refer1 as SampleClass).Text + (refer2 as SampleClass).Text); //OutPut is "NewText NewText" In this case it acts like reference type We can deduce that object 's type is what you box inside it. It can be both a reference type and value type. It is about what you box inside. Am I right?
