Is there a workaround for overloading the assignment operator in C#?

Question

Unlike C++, in C# you can\'t overload the assignment operator.

I\'m doing a custom Number class for arithmetic operations with very large numbers and I want it to h

Answer 1

Here is a solution that worked for myself :

public class MyTestClass
{
   private int a;
   private string str;

   public MyTestClass()
   {
      a = 0;
      str = null;
   }

   public MyTestClass(int a, string str)
   {
      this.a = a;
      this.str = str;
   }

   public MyTestClass Clone
   {
      get
      {
         return new MyTestClass(this.a, this.str);
      }
   }
}

Somewhere else in the code :

MyTestClass test1 = new MyTestClass(5, "Cat");
MyTestClass test2 = test1.Clone;
