Rajeesh Menoth · Answer

Hi Structures are value types and the classes are reference types. Classes are usually used for large amounts of data whereas structs are usually used for smaller amounts of data. Classes can be inherited whereas structures not. A structure couldn't be null like a class. A structure couldn't have a destructor such as a class. A structure can't be abstract a class can. You cannot override any methods within a structure except the following belonging to the type object: Equals() GetHashCode() GetType() ToString() And the other polymorphism technique used for structures is implementing interfaces. Declared events within a class are automatically locked and then they are thread safe in contrast to the structure type where events can't be locked Reference : http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/yougerthen/what-really-make-difference-between-structures-and-classes/
