POIs there a better way to explain the behaviour differences between structs and classes in .net?
 

Note that there are some explanatory texts on larger screens.

    <p>The code below shows a sample that I've used recently to explain the different behaviour of structs and classes to someone brand new to development. Is there a better way of doing so? (Yes - the code uses public fields - that's purely for brevity)</p> <pre><code>namespace StructsVsClasses { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { sampleStruct struct1 = new sampleStruct(); struct1.IntegerValue = 3; Console.WriteLine("struct1.IntegerValue: {0}", struct1.IntegerValue); sampleStruct struct2 = struct1; Console.WriteLine(); Console.WriteLine("struct1.IntegerValue: {0}", struct1.IntegerValue); Console.WriteLine("struct2.IntegerValue: {0}", struct2.IntegerValue); struct1.IntegerValue = 5; Console.WriteLine(); Console.WriteLine("struct1.IntegerValue: {0}", struct1.IntegerValue); Console.WriteLine("struct2.IntegerValue: {0}", struct2.IntegerValue); sampleClass class1 = new sampleClass(); class1.IntegerValue = 3; Console.WriteLine(); Console.WriteLine("class1.IntegerValue: {0}", class1.IntegerValue); sampleClass class2 = class1; Console.WriteLine(); Console.WriteLine("class1.IntegerValue: {0}", class1.IntegerValue); Console.WriteLine("class2.IntegerValue: {0}", class2.IntegerValue); class1.IntegerValue = 5; Console.WriteLine(); Console.WriteLine("class1.IntegerValue: {0}", class1.IntegerValue); Console.WriteLine("class2.IntegerValue: {0}", class2.IntegerValue); Console.ReadKey(); } } struct sampleStruct { public int IntegerValue; } class sampleClass { public int IntegerValue; } } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
