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

In this very specific example, you sort of can:

public bool IsFalse { get; set; }
public bool IsTrue
{
    get { return !IsFalse; }
    set { IsFalse = !value; }
}

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

But, in general, no.
