[Solved] Using curly braces like in constructor to set new values to a base object

by


Figured it out:

public class MyClass
{
    public MyClass() { }
    public MyClass(MyClass baseInstance)
    {
        var fields = typeof(MapObject).GetFields();
        foreach (var field in fields)
            field.SetValue(this, field.GetValue(baseInstance));

        var props = typeof(BaseItems).GetProperties();
        foreach (var prop in props)
            if (prop.CanWrite)
                prop.SetValue(this, prop.GetValue(baseInstance));
    }
}

… lets you do this:

public static MyClass MyClass2 => new MyClass(MyClass1)
{
    Property1 = 42,
    Property2 = "some other text",
    Property3 = new MyOtherClass(MyEnum.SomethingElse)
};

It’s not ideal but it works for me.
