Create a new instance of another class?

(Note: I'm answering the question -  On a sideline issue is C# read from right to left? - which showed up in my email but not on the board)

When you're using the assignment operator '=', then - yes -you should read it from right to left.

In fact, this is perfectly legal:

int x, y, z;
x = y = z = 42;

As you might guess, this sets all 3 variables to 42.

The first operation is:

z = 42;

Now this assignment statement is also regarded as an expression which has a value of  42 (i.e the value of the RHS).

The next operation is:

y = z;

which again is regarded as an expression with a value of 42, and the final operation (the end of the chain) is:

x = y;
