  I've really liked the diagram. Still, it's always worth mentioning that value types also can be stored on heap in case they are boxed or are part of a reference type.

    Dear Ravi, I think you also din't focused on String type as i shown in figure. you just pass "Hello" to s, now in stack corresponding to s, one address like 2000 will be stored on the position of s in stack. and the value("Hello") will be stored in Heap. now you are changing the value of s, so simply the value will be override on same position of heap and on same address, so the value will be "Hello:World" on address 2000. Hope you would be understand that what exactly i wanna explain to u all.....

  The answer to the question of whether the stack or the heap is used is very clear to C++ programmers. The designers of C# attempted to make the language easier and that has made it quite confusing in many ways.

    b,coz string is immutable data type .So, we can't edit the value of string type variable on the same reference,it always gives us a new reference. when we edit in string variable , it always gives us a new reference of memory on which we are edit. we have to hold this reference in string type variable to access the value.
