Answer / lakshmi

The conversion of the value type to reference type is known
as Boxing and converting reference type back to value type
is known as Unboxing.

Answer / kumaresh

BOXING: Converting value type to referenc type.
Here we go with an example,

ArrayList instance = new ArrayList()
//In the above line of code,ArrayList is a reference
type.Add some items to the arraylist. For example,

instance.Add(1);
instance.Add(100);
instance.Add(3);
//3 items added to the arraylist.
//Integer valuee 3 is value type.Adding 3 to the reference
type(here it's arraylist) is boxing.
i.e., Converting value type to referenc type.

UNBOXING:Converting Reference type to value type.
Below is an example, retrives the items from the
arraylist.

foreach (int item in arrayList)
Console.WriteLine(item);

Here arraylist(referenec type) will have 3 values in the
list, which we added above.
Adding this arraylist items to an int variable[here int
variable is "item"] is unboxing.
i.e.,converting the reference type to value type.

Hope you would have understood.
Thanks

Boxing is the process of converting value type to reference
type.

Unboxing is the process of converting from a reference type
to a value type.

Both are slow and should be avoided when possible or
unneeded.

Dim st AS String
Dim obj As Object
Dim n As Integer = 5
st = n ' Boxing happens
obj = n ' Boxing happens

n = st ' Unboxing happens
n = obj ' Unboxing happens

boxing means converting refrence type to value type

Answer / karthik

Boxing:Focing an value type into referencetype is known as boxing.
EX:int a=10;
object obj;
obj=a;
Unboxng:forcing an reference type into value type is known as unboxing.
EX:
int b:
b=(int)obj;
unboxing should be done explicitly using datatype casting.
