It’s really disturbing to me how many professional C# programmers don’t understand the difference between value and reference types

As a professional C# programmer, and production support for an ASP.NET app, I completely agree, you see this in a lot of people with only .NET, Java or other high level backgrounds. People working in higher level languages tend to not consider what is going on behind the scenes, and that always comes back to bite you in the ass.

By the way a great book to dig deeper into the inner workings of C# and .NET is CLR via C#, if you work in the .NET world and don’t have a copy of this book with in reach you either think in IL or are doing your self a large disservice.
