When to use "new" syntax in object creation

Hi !

A couple of pretty basic questions:

Value types:

As far as I understand, when I create value type without "new" syntax
the object is considered as unutilized. Consequently, I have to
initialize its member variables manually; otherwise I would get an
exception while accessing them.
Does this means that the constructor of the object, which is created
without_new_way wouldn't be called?

Reference types:

Do I always create reference types with "new" syntax or there are some
cases when I create my object without "new" and it still will be
allocated in managed heap?

Thanks.

Jean.

probably so, yes...
anyway you can't define parameterless constructor on struct ...

the other case are when someone else call "new" for you ...
