You might want to reconsider how sure of yourself you are. For 
instance by opening https://replit.com/languages/csharp and 
running the following code in there:

using System;

class A {
   int i;
   public A(int i_) { i = i_; }
   public int getI() { return i; }
}

class Program {
   static void Main(string[] args) {
     A a = new A(15);
     Console.WriteLine(a.getI());
     foo(a);
     Console.WriteLine(a.getI());
   }

   static void foo(A ainfoo) {
     ainfoo = new A(23);
     Console.WriteLine(ainfoo.getI());
   }
}
