BUG:Incorrect behavior of Boxed Value Types in MSDN Docs...

[AshokG]

Hi,

In search of the differences between struct and class I found this MSDN Doc
on Boxed Value Types:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...28(VS.90).aspx

The output is specified as this if you run this code
----------
////// doing this with a value type
4
2147483647
2147483647
////// doing this with a normal type
1
1
0
-------

I wonder I'm getting this output when I runf this code as it is.
---------------
////// doing this with a value type
4
4
2147483647
////// doing this with a normal type
1
1
0
--------------

Is this a bug or the ValueType semantics what specified in this doc is
proved wrong.

What should I assume?

Regards,
Ashok

The behavior of parameters passed by reference in reflection calls
changed between .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0, I believe. It looks like this is
referencing the old behavior.

It would be worth reporting this on connect.microsoft.com.
