Corner case in using lambdas expression in base constructor

Question

In the Framework we are building we need the following pattern:

public class BaseRenderer
{
    Func renderer;
    public BaseRenderer(Func<         


        

Answer 1

wouldn't : base(()=>this) be legal? You can do : this() so a reference to this seems to be fine, just not properties on it. The fact that : base(()=>this) is no longer legal just broke some partial function application I did during construction. Can be fixed by moving it into the body of the constructor, but there is an order difference: the base class can no longer be passed transparently a partial function application to itself (because the base class constructor gets called before the body of the subclass constructor).
