seems quite weird to me for something even vb is doing almost perfectly !
MS makes use of the static From* methods throughout the runtime, so it's not a completely "out there" pattern.
Also, VB actually doesn't do what you want either. I believe you were referring to the example:
[exemple stripped] Yeah, I was.
This deceptively looks like the pattern you want, but if you try to do anything before to the call to "Me.New("Tony")" you get an error saying that a "Constructor call is valid only as the first statement in an instance constructor." So, this means the above is really the same as:
public Manager() : this("Tony") {
}
in c#.
oh, ok.
The only other way i can think of is to take the code from the constructor you want the other to call and put it in a separate method. Then, you can have both call that method.
I can't think of any other way to eliminate code duplication otherwise.
ok, then let's use a separate private method then. Thanks
