hi,
i am a beginner in c#.
i have theoretical knowledge about object, reference and instance.
but i want to know clearly about what is an object, reference and
instance.
can any one help me?
or is there any article which can explain it.

Object and instance are synonymic.
An object or an instance is the encapsulated code and data "living" in
your computers memory.
An object or an instance is the "living" form of a class.
A reference is a pointer to an object. So a reference tells you where to
find your object. A simple pointer is a memory address. At this address
you will find your referenced object or instance.

This is a class
public class Person
{
///
}
It is a description of a Person, a sort of template from which Person
objects or instances can be created. Think of a Class as a cookie cutter and
the objects or instances it creates as the cookies.
Object and Instance are interchangeable terms for the things that a Class
creates.
{
Person p = new Person();
...
}
p is a reference or variable that holds an object or instance.
public class Person
{
private string name;
...
}
In this example, name is a string Field, which is a variable held inside an
instance of the Person class.
There's more, but does that help ?

"An object or an instance is the encapsulated code and data "living" in your computers memory."
Does an object actually contain code too? I've always assumed that an object only contained data,
and that all of the code was common to all objects of the same class, so there is only one set of
code that all objects used. Perhaps I made a bad assumption?

This depends of your point of view:
In computer sciences this is true. As an instance is only the input, so
it is the data only.
In OO this must not be true, e.g. an object able to self modify its code.
But at this point i'm not sure if any of the common OO languages
supports self modification.

Hi,
In .NET, "code", or CIL, is defined by the entity definition (class, struct,
enum or delegate)
An "instance" is a tangible, in-memory construct of a particular class.
"object" is the base type of all classes, when speaking of types, but is
also used to refer to "instances" of any type, loosely.

Hello =)
I have an object which contains a method that should execute every x ms. I
can use setInterval inside the object construct like this -
self.setInterval('ObjectName.methodName()', this.pinginterval);
- but is there no way to do this without using the literal ObjectName? If I
write 'this.methodName()' I get "Line 1 Char 1: Object doesn't support this
property or method." in IE, and nothing happens in Firebird.

I'd like to be able to get the name of an object instance from within
a call to a method of that same object. Is this at all possible?
The example below works by passing in the name of the object instance
(in this case 'myDog'). Of course it would be better if I could
somehow know from within write() that the name of the object instance
was 'myDog' without having to pass it as a parameter.

creating a object using { 'propName1':'propValue1',
'propName2':'propValue2', 'propName3':{ /* another object */ } } - from
what version of JScript/JavaScript it was supported (from what browsers
versions) ?...

Hi all,
I've got a little hole in my head concerning references. Here's what
I'm trying to do: I'm calling a function, passing the reference of a
business object for editing. The function clones the object, calls an
editor dialog to let the user edit the object, and then - depending on
the DialogResult - assigns either the clone/backup copy or the modified
object itself to the reference. Maybe I'm thinking too much in pointer
references...
