Why can '=' not be overloaded in C#?

Question

I was wondering, why can\'t I overload \'=\' in C#? Can I get a better explanation?

Answer 1

Because shooting oneself in the foot is frowned upon.

On a more serious note one can only hope you meant comparison rather than assignment. The framework makes elaborate provision for interfering with equality/equivalence evaluation, look for "compar" in help or online with msdn.
