Hi,

I want to understand the difference b/w declaring object in class that is,

    myclass sample1 = new myclass()

    and using object o

please explain the difference!!

thanks

Do you mean the difference between using:

myclass s = new myclass();

and

object o = new myclass();

?

Well for starters if myclass had a method called dothis(), then you could write the following:

s.dothis();

but you couldn't write this:

o.dothis();

I don't really see much point in your question because you only ever use object when you don't know what the class is.

Thanks for the reply

Mahmood,

Do you mean the different between:

    myclass s = new myclass();
    //Do stuff with s

versus

    using(myclass s = new myclass()){
        //do stuff with s
    }


The latter is basically a single block wrapper of this:

    myclass s = new myclass();
    try{
        //do stuff with s
    }
    finally{
        //dispose s properly
    }

Using this is a shortcut for cases where you want to ensure that resources are released/closed/cleaned up before processing continues whether there is an exception thrown by the contained code or not.
