Set a default value to a property

Question

Is it possible to set a default value without the body of a property? Preferably with annotations.

[SetTheDefaultValueTo(true)]
public bool IsTrue { get; set; }
         


        

Answer 1

Assign the default property value in the class constructor.

class MyClass
{
    public MyClass()
    {
        IsTrue = true;
        IsFalse = false;
    }

    public bool IsTrue { get; set; }

    public bool IsFalse { get; set; }

    [...]

    public void Something()
    {
        var isTrue = this.IsTrue;
        var isFalse = this.IsFalse;
    }
}
