.NET中的结构和类有什么区别？
当前回答
有一个有趣的“类vs结构”难题案例——当您需要从方法返回几个结果时：选择要使用的结果。如果你知道ValueTuple的故事，你就知道添加ValueTuple（结构）是因为它应该比Tuple（类）更有效。但这在数字上意味着什么？两个测试：一个是具有2个字段的结构/类，另一个是有8个字段的类型/类（维度大于4-从处理器节拍的角度来看，类应该比结构更有效，但当然也应该考虑GC负载）。

除了其他答案中描述的所有差异外：
结构不能具有显式无参数构造函数，而类可以结构不能有析构函数，而类可以结构不能从其他结构或类继承，而类可以从其他类继承。（结构和类都可以从接口实现。）
如果您正在观看一段视频，解释所有的差异，您可以查看第29部分-C#教程-C#中类和结构之间的差异。
类的实例存储在托管堆上。“包含”实例的所有变量都只是对堆上实例的引用。将对象传递给方法会导致传递引用的副本，而不是对象本身。
结构（从技术上讲，值类型）存储在使用它们的任何地方，很像原始类型。运行时可以随时复制内容，而无需调用自定义的复制构造函数。将值类型传递给方法涉及复制整个值，同样无需调用任何自定义代码。
C++/CLI名称使这种区别更加明显：“ref class”是第一个类，“value class”是第二个类。C#使用的关键字“class”和“struct”只是必须学习的东西。

从微软在类和结构之间的选择。。。
根据经验，框架中的大多数类型应该是类。然而，在某些情况下值类型的特性使其更适合使用结构。✓ 考虑结构而不是类：如果该类型的实例很小并且通常很短，或者通常嵌入在其他对象中。X避免结构，除非该类型具有以下所有属性特点：它在逻辑上表示单个值，类似于原始类型（int、double等）。它的实例大小小于16字节。它是不可变的。（无法更改）它不必经常装箱。
