Assignment operator for __value types

Is there a way to override the default processing of the assignment operator
for one's own __value types ? I realize I can program my own Assign method,
and provide that for end-users of my class, but I would like to use
internally my own = operator for some of my value types, so I can say "x =
y;" rather than "x.Assign(y );".

The op_Assign operator seems impossibly broken since it takes __value copies
of the two objects. Perhaps there is some other way.

That's fair enough :) Good discussion though.
BTW, and I know this is bad NG etiquette, I have documented what I believe
is a serious .NET bug in another poston this NG recently. I know I can call
MS to try to get a viable workaround ( I still have two free incidents ),
but if you can confirm it or at least tell me I am wrong about it, it would
be helpful to me.


No problem - what's the thread called?

I have a __value class which uses some legacy C++ code. So I wrapped the legacy C++ code in another __nogc class and have a pointer to that class as a member of my __value class. When the __value class is created, I dynamically allocate an object of the class with the legacy C++ code. However because the __value class has no destructor, I can never release that allocated memory. Why does a __value class allow no destructor ? Without it I...

I have been reading through the ManagedExtensionsSpec.doc file and I thought something was not clear. If I have a __value class (really a __value struct but that shouldn't make a difference) and I want a non-variable-size array of them, are there any advantages/disadvantages to using a __gc array versus a __nogc array? Section 4.5.3 (__gc and __nogc Keywords and Arrays) says:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.

Hello I'm a network technician in training and I need your help. I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.

But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
