What is Value type and reference type in .Net?

(From MSDN)
Value types include:
All numeric data types
Boolean, Char, and Date
All structures, even if their members are reference types
Enumerations, since their underlying type is always Byte, Short, Integer, or Long

Reference types include:
String
All arrays, even if their elements are value types
Class types, such as Form
Delegates

Value types directly contain their data which are either allocated on the stack or allocated in-line in a structure.

Reference types store a reference to the value's memory address, and are allocated on the heap. Reference types can be self-describing types, pointer types, or interface types.

Variables that are value types each have their own copy of the data, and therefore operations on one variable do not affect other variables. Variables that are reference types can refer to the same object; therefore, operations on one variable can affect the same object referred to by another variable. All types derive from the System.Object base type.
