Creating Structs with and without new
As shown in lines 46 and 47 of Listing 18.1, a new struct object can, like a class object, be created with the keyword new. As opposed to classes, though, it is also possible to create a struct without using the new keyword. This procedure is demonstrated in Listing 18.3.
Listing 18.3. SimpleTimeSpanStruct.cs

02:
03: public struct TimeSpan
04: {

06:
07: public TimeSpan(uint initialTotalSeconds)
08: {
09: totalSeconds = initialTotalSeconds;

12:
13: class Tester
14: {
15: public static void Main()
16: {
17: TimeSpan myTime;
18:
19: myTime.totalSeconds = 8383;
20: Console.WriteLine("My time: {0} ", myTime.totalSeconds);
21: }
22: } My time: 8383 ... |
