class and structure

Why should we use class instead of structure

You got the information in that other Q&A, but just for clarity: the question should really be the other way around: *When should we use struct instead of class?*. Making a class should be your default option. — Fredrik Mörk, Mar 22 '11 at 12:54
You should use a struct when your design calls for pass-by-value and a class when your design calls for pass-by-reference. Yes, this is a useless answer, but it highlights the fact that there is no universally applicable rule, you have to make the decision in context of project-specific knowledge. — Ben Voigt, Mar 22 '11 at 13:03

Your question is a bit broad but normally but Microsoft gives good answers, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2hkbth2a(v=vs.80).aspx .

That article outlines techincal difference but does not really give any guidance on why to use one over the other. – Fredrik Mörk Mar 22 '11 at 13:04
