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

This code is working for me:

public class Class1
{

    ...

    public static implicit operator Class1(Class2 value)
    {
        Class1 result = new Class1();

        result.property = value.prop;

        return result;

    }

}
