Simple C# doubt...

[Guest_imported]

Hi,
I have read from Tom Archer's Inside C# book, saying that data type int is a alias name created by c# for the class System.Int32. If so int should be reference type. But they are saying that it is a value type and when we declare int it will be stored in stack only. I could not get the correct difference...Could any one please help me out in this question...

Thanks in advance,
leslie

The book is almost correct. int is a reference for the System.Int32 struct not class. A struct is a value type and a class is a referense type.

Hope this clear things up, Larsson
