Suppose the following declaration : List Ints = new List { 1, 2, 3 }; List is a reference type int is value type How the variable "Ints" is stored in memory ?

Quick answer is that all will store in Heap as List is a Ref. type. Point here is that the list itself and all its contents will be stored on the heap. Your reference variable will point to the list instance on the heap. Value types are stored on the heap if they are part of a reference type (e.g. an int field of a class) or stored in an array .
