Question

I am learning about C# refs right now.

Is it safe to assume that all variables that are assigned with a new are references and not values?

Example:

SomeType variable = new SomeType()

Answer 1

No:

• Instance of classes are references, but instances of structs are values.
• Classes and structs can both be constructed using new

For example, System.Drawing.Point is a struct not a class:

Point point = new Point(1, 1); //point is a value, not a reference
