    It has a few humorous properties? :) That said, I'm surprised there were no compiler errors. UPDATE: I was focused on the missing types on your properties (cut/paste error in posting?). I think it would be a "capital" idea if you fixed those...then, the other issue might be more apparent :)

    The code presented is perfectly acceptable to the compiler. Resharper will notify you that input parameter value3 is not being used, which I would then have noticed that. I don't know if the latest version of VS2017 shows that too, I think it does. Also, I think the unused input parameter may also show up as a compiler warning, but could be wrong there, depending on a person's settings, etc.

      }
      

      }

      var value = new MyObject(1,2,3);

      Why is MyObject.Value3 always equal to 0? /slaps self repeatedly, and insert appropriate comic[^]

        It is always interesting to me that C# doesn't produce a compiler error for that. But, I guess it figures you know best. :rolleyes: Maybe there's a warning, but we all ignore warnings. :laugh:

          I was talking about the missing types on the property declarations. Just updated before I read your reply.

                I think it does issue a warning when you assign something to itself...at least I recall seeing one. I was more focused on the missing types in the property declarations.

                      In c++ you will get at least a warning "Parameter value3" not used :-\ :-D

                      It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

                          There (sort of) is a warning for self-assignment. If you assign

                          value3 = value3

                          you do get a warning. If you assign

                          Value3 = Value3

                          you do not get a warning. Strange, the warning must only be for self-assignment of variables, but not properties?

                            Not that strange: properties are syntactic sugar for getter and setter methods, so what you are actually doing is:

                            Value3 = Value3;

                            Value3_setter(Value3_getter());

                            But the compiler should have spotted it:: lazy programmers strike again ... :laugh:

                              Yeah, in their defense, I guess there are cases where that "self-assignment" might actually have "desired" side effects (such as modifying some other local variable). Though, I'd still like it if the compiler kicked out a low level warning...mostly, because I'm bound to make that mistake myself sometime :(

                                  Because your code is doing what you told it to do - not what you want it to do? (That is usually my problem with my code!)

                                        Unfortunately that happens, and aging doesn't help. Interestingly enough, in spite of 0x01AA remark, g++ doesn't complain about

                                        class Foo
                                        {
                                        int F;
                                        public:
                                        Foo(int f){F = F;}
                                        //...

                                        But it does complain about (which is, by the way, the construct every sensible C++ developer would have chosen)

                                        class Foo
                                        {
                                        int F;
                                        public:
                                        Foo(int f):F(F){}
                                        //...

                                        spitting out a sane

                                        warning: ‘Foo::F’ is initialized with itself

                                        In testa che avete, signor di Ceprano?
