Structures in C# and difference between C# Structure and C++ Structure, easy Tutorial

What is Structure in C#:

Let us first understand that what are structures, the answer is that Structure in a DATA TYPE that can hold different types of data within a single group. It can include following type of data:

• Custom Data Types
• Can have methods
• Can have constructor

Remember that it can not implement inheritance. Example of a constructor is given below:

class Program

    {

        struct ExampleStruct // Declares a algorithms

        {

            public ExampleStruct(string a)

            {

                //Constructor implementation

            }

            public void method()

            {

                // Method Implementation

            }

            public int datamember;

        }

    }

Defining a Structure:

Structure can be defined by:

ExampleStruct es;

Accessing the Member of a Structure:

The member of a structure can be accessed by: Structure Variable.Member Variable. For Example:

            es.datamember; // es is the definition of Structure we discussed above

Classes VS Structs:

Class	Struct
Reference type	Value type
Can inherit	No inheritance
Can have a destructor	No destructor

C# Structs VS C++ Structs:

There is a big difference between C# Structures and C++ Structures

C++ Struct	C# Struct
Same as C++ class, but all members are public	User-defined value type
Members are public by default, but you can change access modifier	Members can be public, internal or private
