default value of type - C# / C Sharp

Franz

I would like to know if there is a list for default values of types (e.g.
int, float, bool, System.Drawing.Color, String, etc)?
Thanks.

Check the : "Default Values Table" in the C# reference manual, for the built-in types.
There is no list of default values for FCL types, you should inspect each type independently.
f.i System.Drawing.Color has [Empty] default see Description of System.Drawing.Color.

That's right, but if you take a look at the description of IsEmpty, it certainly contains a hint :-).

Hi!

Reference types are set to null by the CLR and valuetypes to zero (Except
for bool which is set to false).
