Arrays

Abstract

Arrays in C# ARE reference objects; they are allocated out of heap space rather than on the stack. The elements of an array are stored as dictated by the element type; if the element type is a reference type (such as string), the array will store references to strings. If the element is a value type (such as a numeric type, or a struct type), the elements are stored directly within the array. In other words, an array of a value type does not contain boxed instances.
