对象是引用类型还是值类型

     object obj1 = "OldString";
     object obj2 = obj1;
     obj1 = "NewString";
     MessageBox.Show(obj1 + "   " + obj2);
     //Output is  "NewString   OldString" 

   class SampleClass
    {
        public string Text { get; set; }
    }
    SampleClass Sample1 = new SampleClass();
    Sample1.Text="OldText";         
    object refer1 = Sample1;
    object refer2 = refer1;
    Sample1.Text = "NewText";
    MessageBox.Show((refer1 as SampleClass).Text +  (refer2 as SampleClass).Text);
    //OutPut is "NewText   NewText"   

它是一个引用类型

用字符串做一个例子并不是很有启发性，因为字符串是也是引用类型（很明显，SampleClass也是）；您的示例包含零个"装箱"。

如果对象是引用类型，那么为什么obj2值仍然是"OldString"

为什么不呢？创建新字符串时，不会更改指向新字符串的旧引用。考虑：

 object obj1 = "OldString";
 // create a new string; assign obj1 the reference to that new string "OldString"
object obj2 = obj1;
 // copy the reference from obj1 and assign into obj2; obj2 now refers to
 // the same string instance
 obj1 = "NewString";
 // create a new string and assign that new reference to obj1; note we haven't
 // changed obj2 - that still points to the original string, "OldString"

object变量始终是引用类型。

object可以通过拳击的力量"引用"一个值类型。该框是object变量引用的值周围的引用类型包装。

int x = 10;     // a value-type
object o = x;

变量o是对包含x值的框的引用，但它不是x:

x = 20;
MessageBox.Show( string.Format( "x:{0} o:{1}", x, o ) );

使用可变值类型可能更具启发性

struct SampleClass
{
    public string Text { get; set };
    public override string ToString() { return Text; }
}
var x = new SampleClass{ Text = "Hello" };
object o = x;
x.Text = "World";
MessageBox.Show( string.Format( "{0} {1}", x, o ) );

o是对x的装箱引用，因此更改x的值对o没有影响。

将SampleClass更改为类而不是结构（引用类型而不是值类型）将改变行为：行object o = x;将使o引用与x相同的东西，更改x的文本也将更改o的文本。

进行时

obj1 = "NewString";

它实际上保存了一个新的引用，指向另一个内存位置，而不是之前给obj2的位置。当您更改位置obj1的内容时，您将在obj2中得到相同的更改。

尝试用更改obj1的内容

fixed(char* c = obj1 as string)
{
    c = '0';
}

您的两个字符串现在都将是"0ldString"。

这是因为对象是引用类型。

对象变量始终是引用类型。类和字符串是引用类型。结构和枚举是一种值类型。我从各种资源中收集了一个很大的例子。

// PrintedPage is a value type
//this is a struct
struct PrintedPage
{
    public string Text;
}
// WebPage is a reference type
class WebPage
{
    public string Text;
}
struct SampleClass
{
    public string Text { get; set; }
    public override string ToString() { return Text; }
}
void Main()
{
        // First look at value type behaviour
        PrintedPage originalPrintedPage = new PrintedPage();
        originalPrintedPage.Text = "Original printed text";
        // Copy all the information
        PrintedPage copyOfPrintedPage = originalPrintedPage;
        // Change the new copy
        copyOfPrintedPage.Text = "Changed printed text";
        // Write out the contents of the original page.
        // Output=Original printed text
        Console.WriteLine ("originalPrintedPage={0}",
                           originalPrintedPage.Text);

       //-------------------------------------------------------------------
        // Now look at reference type behaviour
        WebPage originalWebPage = new WebPage();
        originalWebPage.Text = "Original web text";
        // Copy just the URL
        WebPage copyOfWebPage = originalWebPage;
        // Change the page via the new copy of the URL
        copyOfWebPage.Text = "Changed web text";
        // Write out the contents of the page
        // Output=Changed web text
        Console.WriteLine ("originalWebPage={0}",
                           originalWebPage.Text);
        // Now change the copied URL variable to look at
        // a different web page completely
        copyOfWebPage = new WebPage();
        copyOfWebPage.Text = "Changed web page again";
         Console.WriteLine ("originalWebPage={0}",
                           originalWebPage.Text);
        Console.WriteLine ("copyOfWebPage={0}",
                           copyOfWebPage.Text);

       //-------------------------------------------------------------------
        //string are reference type too
         object obj1 = "OriginalString"; // create a new string; assign obj1 the reference to that new string "OriginalString"
         object obj2 = obj1;// copy the reference from obj1 and assign into obj2; obj2 now refers to // the same string instance
         obj1 = "NotOriginalString";// create a new string and assign that new reference to obj1; note we haven't // changed obj2 - that still points to the original string, "OriginalString"
        /*   When you do obj1 = "NewString"; it actually holds a new reference, to another memory location, not the same location you gave to obj2 before. 
           IMP -  When you change the content of the location obj1, you will get the same change in obj2.
        */
         Console.WriteLine(obj1 + "   " + obj2);
       //-------------------------------------------------------------------
         object onj11 = 2; 
         object obj12 = onj11;
         onj11 = 3; //you assigned boj11 to a new reference but obj12 reference did not change
         Console.WriteLine(onj11 + "   " + obj12);
       //-------------------------------------------------------------------     
         /*look below - it's possible for object to "reference" a value-type by the power of boxing. The box is a reference-type wrapper around a value, to which the object variable refers.*/
         int i = 2; //int is value type
         object j = i; //variable j is a reference to a box containing the value of i- but it's not i
         i = 3;  
         Console.WriteLine(i + "   " + j);       
       //-------------------------------------------------------------------
        var x = new SampleClass{ Text = "Hello" };

       //-------------------------------------------------------------------
        SampleClass x1 = new SampleClass{ Text = "Hello" }; //sample class is of type struct which is value type; it is was of type class then the data would be copied over and result would be World World
        SampleClass o1 = x1;
        o1.Text = "World";
        Console.WriteLine(x + "   " + o);
    }
