    Object identity refers to two objects referring to the same instance in memory, which can be checked with ReferenceEquals(). Object equality refers to two objects of the same type with matching data, which can be checked with GetHashCode() and Equals(). The visibility of members outside of their defining type depends on the access modifier. Private and internal members are not visible outside the current assembly, while protected, internal protected, and public members can be visible in external assemblies depending on the relationship between the types. Abstract classes can contain instance fields and methods but not be instantiated, while interfaces cannot contain fields but methods are implicitly pure unless implemented with default. A class can inherit from one abstract class and implement multiple interfaces, while a

    Object Identity: Two objects are considered to be identical if they refer to


    the same instance in the memory. In .NET whether object x is identical to
    object y can be determined from expression:
    System.Object.ReferenceEquals(x, y)

    Object Equality: Two objects are considered to be equal if they refer to


    instances of same type and with matching data in the memory. In .NET
    whether object x is identical to object y can be determined from
    expression:
    x.GetHashCode() == y.GetHashCode() && x.Equals(y)

    Multiple Inheritance in C#: CLR's type system does not allow a class to
    inherit from multiple other classes because an instance of such a class will
    require multiple sub-objects out of which only the first one can be
    reference in a safe manner and without complicating essential runtime
    mechanisms such as type-casting, virtual dispatch, reflection and garbage
    collection. Since an interface cannot define an instance field it does require
    a sub-object within an instance of its inheriting type and as such multiple
    inheritance is supported through interfaces.
