Member access using -> C# with Example
C# inherits from C and C++ the usage of the symbol -> as a means of accessing the members of an instance through a typed pointer. Consider the following struct: struct Vector2 { public int X; public int Y; } This is an example of the usage of -> to access its members: Vector2 v; v.X = 5; v.Y = 10; Vector2* ptr = &v; int x = ptr->X; int y = ptr->Y; string s = ptr->ToString(); Console.WriteLine(x); // prints 5 Console.WriteLine(y); // prints 10 Console.WriteLine(s); // prints Vector2
