A variable of a reference type holds a reference (i.e. a pointer) to where an object of that type is stored on the managed heap.

In contrast, a variable of a value type contains an actual instance of that type, not a reference to it.

Classes, arrays, delegates and interfaces are reference types.

Structs and enums are value types.
