Call one constructor from the body of another in C#

Question

I need to call one constructor from the body of another one. How can I do that?

Basically

class foo {
    public foo (int x, int y)
    {
    }

             


        

Answer 1

I've ran into this problem a time or two myself... I ended up having to extract whatever logic I needed in that other constructor into a private void method and calling it in both places.

class foo
{
  private void Initialize(int x, int y)
  {
    //... do stuff
  }

  public foo(int x, int y)
  {
    Initialize(x, y);
  }

  public foo(string s_
  {
    // ... do stuff

    Initialize(x, y)
    // ... more stuff
  }
}
