Boxing and Unboxing in ASP.Net

Introduction

In this example, explaining in detail difference between Boxing and Unboxing in ASP.Net. Boxing is the process of converting value type to object type and unboxing is reverse process of object type to value type. I have illustrated the concept as given below:

Boxing

Int i;
I=78;
Object o = i;   (Boxing)

Unboxing

Int i;
Object o;
o = 8;
i = (int)o; (Unboxing)
