Not null assignment operator i C#

[gmjn]

C# should implement a non-null assignment operator.

Now:

if (switch is not null)
{
    switch.Value = true;
}

Easier desired way:

switch?.Value =? true;

@RikkiGibson has a proposal for thsi already. Syntax woudl simply be s?.value = true

[CyrusNajmabadi]

No, the syntax you refer to is wrong.

No clue what you mean by that. The linked proposal is about making the latter syntax work. Which will then have exactly the same semantics as what you asked for in your original post. this is not about ==. THis is about assignment.

[ParsaMehdipour]

No, the syntax you refer to is wrong.

This works when comparing:

s?.value == true

This non't work when assigning:

s?.value = true

Well your question was about non-null assignment which I believe the following code would do just the same:

c?.obj = new object();

Or in your situation:

s?.value = true

Yes, I thought #6045 was the duplicate request. But in issue it should be possible to assign values ​​to null values. I want a new operator so that it will only be assigned when value is not null. C# is complicated and there are many issues that I don't know about. This post was just to inform the C# team that I see the possibility of =? operator. Maybe a bad idea.

You can't assign values to null

Yes, that's what #6045 is.
