C# new Operator

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

Would someone please take the time and give me a layperson explanation of
when to use the C# "new" operator. I do understand the purpose of the "new"
operator but I don't understand when to apply it. I have been studying C#
for sometime, and the "new" operator is confusing to me. When I am in the
Object Browser, should I be looking for something in particular?

Regards,

Jon

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/vcsharp/learning/ for C# resources.

This really isn't the appropriate forum; but in short, new() is the way in
C# to create new instances of objects--unlike C++ where you can get new
instances from a copy constructor, assignment operator and stack variables.

The new keyword [1] has a couple of different uses.
