How can I assign multiple object properties at once in C#?

Question

Background

I have some rows from a DataGridView that I convert to entity objects. In the conversion process I reset some values. As the \"basic\" data

you can assign them in a chain using the = operator:

TimeEntries.Hours = TimeEntries.Expenses = 0;

as if you would read this statement backwards.

In the case of your loop it would look like this:

foreach (DataGridViewRow CurrRow in DataGridView.Rows)
{
    SomeObject SomeObj = (SomeObject) CurrRow.DataBoundItem;
    SomeObj.PropertyA = SomeObj.PropertyB = 0;
    SomeObjCollection.Add(SomeObj);
}

Important note:

If you are dealing with reference types this will assign only 1 reference to different properties. So that changing one of them will affect all other properties!
