Why struct is not used to hold entity instead of class?
(eventhough struct provides us properties, methods and interface support)
Struct is a value type and
Class is a reference type.
Struct is stored in Stack - so if you pass a struct as argument to method - a new struct will be created on stack and values will be copied - this is a time consumingp process in the order of n.
Class is stored in Heap - so the same reference can be passed to various methods without duplication.

What is strong-typing versus weak-typing? Which is preferred? Why?
Strong typing implies that the types of variables involved in operations are associated to the variable, checked at compile-time, and require explicit conversion; weak typing implies that they are associated to the value, checked at run-time, and are implicitly converted as required. (Which is preferred is a disputable point, but I personally prefer strong typing because I like my errors to be found as soon as possible.)

Why can't struct be used instead of class for storing entity?
Struct is of value type. If we pass it across methods in layers, a new object will be created in the stack thus increasing memory and processing requirement.
So class should be used for creating entity like Employee, Supplier etc.
