Operator overloading

Hello there pare! Hmmm, mukhang mahirap nga gusto mong mangyari. MS insisted that overloading "=" will just open C# for abuse (much like C++). Pare, have you tried the protected method MemberwiseClone?I think it suffices albeit an explicit cast is needed since this one always return a System.Oject. You can look it up in the doc.

Hello all, It is comforting to realize I am not alone in my quest to overload the assignment operator. My particular need for the capability is to determine if an assignment between two "instances" of my own user defined type (struct) is legitimate or not. (For those interested, I have a "units of measurement" library for engineering purposes that generates exceptions when a client programmer attempts to add quantities with incompatible units of measure - for example, adding velocity and position). My searches have been fruitless thus far and I have run into the same brick wall with regards "= can not be overloaded" in MS documentation. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Doug

Hi Werdna, I'm a a bit confused, can you provide me a sample code? Thanks, Tikbalang

Hi Kowan, Thanks for the list of overrideable operators, but I already saw those from the .Net documentation. What I'm looking for is a way to overload the assignment operator =. public static MyCustomType operator = (MyCustomType leftV, int RightV) { ... } this code will not compile because the assignment operator is not overridable. So my question was, is there are hack to IL or thru reflection to override it? since a special method op_assign is generated in the IL. Hanggang sa muli, Tikbalang

You might have to override explicity and implicity type convertion operators. You can lookup implicit converstion operator in c# docs.
