But, since DateTime is a value type, so, there should be an internal copy of current time created by struct DateTime struct itself, and during assignment to variable abc, abc is another copy of "current time", so there are two copies, right?

public static DateTime 
Now
{
    get
    {
        DateTime temp ;
 
        // Set the value
 
        return ( temp ) ;
    }
}

call valuetype DateTime DateTime::get_Now()<br />

Compared with variable instance on heap, generally speaking why operations on stack is better?

It probably is a waste but you need an instance of the DateTime struct to exist to be able to get the value!

the Now property is static, so there is no instance existing before calling the property
