Hi All :
How to override the class operator = like C++ ?

Best regards !

I am sorry that you can't override operator= in C#.

You can override the implicit cast - operator. (see keyword implicit in
MSDN)

Then their timezone isn't.

The original post had a date header of:

Date: Tue, 19 Aug 2003 11:15:18 -0700

That can't possibly be right, as that time (18:15 GMT) hasn't yet
happened.

Wouldn't that override "==", not "="?

Can I ask why you would possibly want to override "="? There must be another
solution.

For example:
MyClass A = new MyClass();
MyClass B = new MyClass();
A.Item1 = ...;
A.Item2 = ...;
B = A;

I don't think you can override assignment operators. Look into overloading
the MemberwiseClone() function if you need capability beyond what it gives
you.

Using your example it would be:
MyClass A = new MyClass();
MyClass B = new MyClass();
....
B=(MyClass)A.MemberwiseClone();

You cannot override/overload or otherwise modify
the assignment (=) or new operators in .NET.

There is specific logic that .NET uses for assignment
that is required for the memory management and
garbage collection.

I think what you may want is to override the
implicit and explicit cast operator.

For example:

MyFancyNumberClass mfnc = new MyFancyNumberClass():

// implicit cast
int foo = mfnc;

If you wrote MyFancyNumberClass and you wanted
people to copy it to an int, you'd use the
implicit cast operator to convert mfnc to an
integer.

You can also override explicit casts:
int foo = (int) mfnc;
