Answer / purushotham .tella

Structures are Value-Types. This means, the data that they
contain is stored as a stack on the memory. Classes are
Reference-Types, means they are stored as a heap on the memory.

Structures are implicitly derived from a class called
System.ValueType.

Answer / kiran

Following are the key differences between them :-
1. Structure are value types and classes are reference
types.So structures use
stack and classes use heap.
2. Structures members can not be declared as protected ,
but class members can
be.You can not do inheritance in structures.
3. Structures do not require constructors while classes
require.
4. Objects created from classes are terminated using
Garbage collector.Structures are not destroyed using GC.

Answer / sai laxman

class ex:-
class classname
{
int a;
float b;
}
struct {
int a;
int b;
}struct name;

In the struct all members are by default public,
in the class we can deference it private,public,protected.
While Inheriting from the structure all the members are
public by default but in class it depends upon the data
access modifiers.

Answer / abhay k pandey

Structs many have constructors but they should not be
parameterless. Structs performs alomost all the tasks of a
class but differs at some points - structs don't support
inheritance hence there is no protected keyword with
structs. Note : still struct inherit from System.Object

Answer / sagu

In classes we can code functions which is not possible in
structures. In structures the number of members is
restricted to ten.whereas in c language we can use as many
members we required.
