This method only supports reference types. There are overloads of the Exchange method for the value types Int32, Int64, IntPtr, Single, and Double, but there is no support for other value types.
Note |
|---|
This method overload is preferable to the Exchange(Object%, Object) method overload, because the latter requires the destination object to be accessed late-bound. |
