0	In C#, the new keyword can be used as an operator or as a modifier. new Operator The new operator is used to create objects and invoke constructors, for example: Class1 MyClass = new Class1(); The null keyword is a literal that represents a null reference, one that does not refer to any object. null is the default value of reference-type variables. Ordinary value types cannot be null. However, C# 2.0 introduced nullable value types http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/51y09td4%28v=vs.71%29.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/edakx9da.aspx If this post helps you mark it as answer Thanks krrishbiju-15589, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

0	Class1 MyClass=new Class() Object will be created in Heap and address will be saved in Stack, In this case we are using both Heap and StacK In this case this is reference type Class1 MyClass=null; Object will not be created so it won't create your Heap, Only Stack memory will be created and it hold Null Value In this case this is Value type Regards, Jayakumar Selvakani krrishbiju-15589, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

Class1 MyClass=new Class()
Object will be created in Heap and address will be saved in Stack, In this case we are using both Heap and StacK
In this case this is reference type

Class1 MyClass=null;
Object will not be created so it won't create your Heap, Only Stack memory will be created and it hold Null Value
In this case this is Value type
