Struct v/s Class in C# - Please explain the behavior.

I am confused that have seen often that we create custom object by following 

public class Student { public string Name{get;set;} public string Class{get;set;} public string Section{get;set;} }

and create instant and use its attributes as property for example

List<Student> absentUsers = new List<Students>(); Student studenttoadd = new Student();//Object studenttoadd.Name = "You"; studenttoadd.Class = "PlayGroup"; absentUsers.Add(studenttoadd);

and so on

but isn't it true that we can do same with Struct?

What is mentioned approach called(example i have given)?

When to Use this approach and when to use struct?

is there any performance /memory allocation difference?

  • It would be a huge mistake to use struct here. A common mistake for people from C++ etc, but a mistake. Commented Jun 7, 2011 at 15:57
  • so basically when would you prefer struct over this approach Commented Jun 7, 2011 at 16:17
