Using the default keyword in C#

Introduction:

The keyword default plays several and important roles in the C# language, therefore, I will enumerate some cases where the default keyword is used.

First use case:

The keyword default is used within the switch ... case bloc, to illustrate how, I propose this example:

Color x = new Color();

switch (x)

{

case Color.Red :

MessageBox.Show("This is not a primary color");

//TO DO: Perform some task

break;

case Color.Green :

MessageBox.Show("This is not a primary color");

//TO DO: Perform some task

break;

case Color.Blue:

MessageBox.Show("This is not a primary color");

//TO DO: Perform some task

break;

default:

MessageBox.Show("This is not a primary color");

}

As you see the default play the role of somewhat the exception catcher or the else keyword within a given condition block, but you tell me OK I know this. Have you any thing new where using the keyword default is necessary. YES of course, here are two other use cases.

Second use case:

Imagine if it is necessary to reset the value of a given generic type, you can employ this code for example:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Text;

public class myType<T>

{

public myType() { }

private T _Attribute1;

private T _Attribute2;

public T Attribute1
