I am confused,
Microsoft in one site says "String is a reference type".
Check the below website
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/362314fe.aspx
It says
"Although string is a Reference type, the equality
operators (== and !=) are defined to compare the values of
string objects, not references. This makes testing for
string equality more intuitive".
while when checked the other website
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/83fhsxwc.aspx
Which list's "Built-In Types Table (C# Reference)" which has
STRING in the list
C# Type .NET Framework Type
--------- ---------------------
bool System.Boolean
byte System.Byte
sbyte System.SByte
char System.Char
decimal System.Decimal
double System.Double
float System.Single
int System.Int32
uint System.UInt32
long System.Int64
ulong System.UInt64
object System.Object
short System.Int16
ushort System.UInt16
string System.String
And it is mentioned
"All of the types in the table, except OBJECT and STRING,
are referred to as simple types."
From all these I infer that "STRING is a reference type".
