Declaration

public ref T GetComponent();

Returns

T A reference to the live component data.

Description

Returns a reference to the attached component of type T.

The reference points at the component's live storage: assigning to its fields updates the element directly, with no need to write the value back. The reference stays valid until the component is removed.

Is something described here not working as you expect it to? It might be a Known Issue. Please check with the Issue Tracker at issuetracker.unity3d.com.
