Structures and classes are the two most important data structures that are used by programmers to build modular programs by using OOP languages, such as Visual Basic .NET, and Visual C#. The following are some of the similarities between a class and a structure:
- Access specifiers, such as public, private, and protected, are identically used in structures and classes to restrict the access of their data and methods outside their body.
- The access level for class members and struct members, including nested classes and structs, is private by default. Private nested types are not accessible from outside the containing type.
- Both can have constructors, methods, properties, fields, constants, enumerations, events, and event handlers.
- Both structures and classes can implement interfaces to use multiple-inheritance in code.
- Both structures and classes can have constructors with parameter.
- Both structures and classes can have delegates and events.
