Dear All,
I have a basic knowledge regarding Stack and Heap, and I know all value type will be stored in stack and reference type in heap. But if I have a value type inside a class then where it will be stored? How this will work inside the memory?

"I know all value type will be stored in stack"
That's where you're wrong.

Yes, but all most all articles available on web are wrong about this :). And if I am wrong then what is the difference between value type and reference type? Only copied by value and copied by reference ?

Value types are stored in the stack though there are conditions.
These articles should help you understand a little bit about value types -
