Even though I am doing C# code since long, today I got confused in one basic fundamental. To answer see below code.

Note: RR is a View-Object from my xaml file, and Findname method is used in ViewModel to find any child UI components using name.

public FuncA(CustomRibbonWindow RR)
{
    DockManager XX=RR.FindName("DockManager_Bottom") as DockManager;
}

Is object inside XX copied as reference or just like value?

I also checked return type of FindName() function which was object so had further question like : Is there any difference between object and Object? ( I mean object here telling to copy as value only while Object return type may referring copy as reference) .

Forgive me if questions are too silly that may irritate you, but its very important for me to know.

My 1st question is not duplicated. Please...! – Pratik Nov 11 '14 at 07:26
`XX` is referring to your `DockManager_Bottom` control, it is not cloned. – Sjeijoet Nov 11 '14 at 07:35
It will not be cloned. It is just the same reference. You can test it by comparing the objects using `Object.ReferenceEquals` method. Also tag user, so that he'll get notifications. Like this @Pratik – Sriram Sakthivel Nov 11 '14 at 09:02
