Boxing - Unboxing in C#

Boxing and unboxing is a essential concept in .NET’s type system. With Boxing and unboxing one can link between value-types and reference-types by allowing any value of a value-type to be converted to and from type object. Boxing and unboxing enables a unified view of the type system wherein a value of any type can ultimately be treated as an object.
Converting a value type to reference type is called Boxing. Unboxing is the opposite operation and is an explicit operation.
