TypeConverter.CreateInstance-Method

[Oskar Vaia]

Hi,

in the .NET Framework Class Library there is the following text in the
"Remarks"-section:

"Use this method for objects that are immutable, but for which you want to
provide changeable properties."

.... objects that are immutable ... - what does this mean? Can someone please
insert here an example?



thx & bye

Oskar

An immutable object is an object who's internal state cannot change after it
has been created. Strings are an example of immutable objects in the .Net
Framework. You can never change the value of an existing String object,
since all its methods return a new String object, leaving the original
object intact.

Hi Oskar,

A String is immutable, a change will mean that it is written on a new place
and the old one is destroyed when the Garbadge Collecter does his work.

I hope this clears it a little bit?
