Can I call a constructor from another constructor (do constructor chaining) in C++?

Question

As a C# developer I\'m used to running through constructors:

class Test {
    public Test() {
        DoSomething();

This approach may work for some kinds of classes (when the assignment operator behaves 'well'):

Foo::Foo()
{
    // do what every Foo is needing
    ...
}

Foo::Foo(char x)
{
    *this = Foo();

    // do the special things for a Foo with char
    ...
}
