Does anybody have useful example of this
assignment inside a C# method? I have been asked for it once during job interview, and I am still interested in answer myself.
The other answers are incorrect when they say you cannot assign to 'this'. True, you can't for a class type, but you can for a struct type:
public struct MyValueType
{
public int Id;
public void Swap(ref MyValueType other)
{
MyValueType temp = this;
this = other;
other = temp;
}
}
At any point a struct can alter itself by assigning to 'this' like so.
