? Boxing is an implicit conversion of a value type to
the type object

UNBOXING
? Unboxing is an explicit conversion from the type
object to a value type

Answer / narayansahu

Boxing and Un-boxing

Boxing allows value types to be implicitly treated like
objects.

Dim i As Integer = 5
i.ToString() ' i --> object --->object.tostring

OR

Dim i As Integer = 5
Dim obj As Object = i ' implicit boxing
obj.ToString()

OR you can do it explicitly
Dim obj As Object = CType(i, Object) ' un-necessary
explicit boxing

On the other hand, un-boxing is an explicit conversion from
object type to value type.

Dim i As Integer = 5
Dim obj As Object = i ' implicit boxing
Dim j As Integer = CType(obj, Integer) ' explicit un-boxing



? Boxing and Un-boxing is the transformation between
value type and object type while casting just transforms
the apparent (reference) type of objects.
? Value types are stored at the stack and objects are
stored at the heap.
Boxing takes a copy of value types from the stack to the
heap while un-boxing takes value types back to the stack.
On the other hand, casting does not physically move or
operate on an object. Casting merely changes the way
objects are treated in a program by altering their
reference type.

type . value are stored in stack and reference type used
in heap . when we copy data from stack memmory to heap it
call Boxing .


Int32 x = 10; object o = x ; // Implicit
boxing
Int32 y = 10;

unboxing : copy data from heap memory to stack called
unboxing
object obj = (object) y; // Explicit Boxing
