C# code refactoring?

Question

How to convert this code:

MYCLASS ebt = new MYCLASS();
ebt.cbStruct = Marshal.SizeOf(ebt);

into this:

MYCLASS ebt = new MYCLASS(cbStruct = Marshal.SizeOf('What comes here?'));

Answer 1

Use a MYCLASS constructor that takes a cbStruct parameter.

Answer 2

Get the size of the type instead:

MYCLASS ebt = new MYCLASS { cbStruct = Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(MYCLASS)) };

Also note braces rather than parentheses to use initialiser syntax.

Answer 3

maybe you could make the cbStruct property a getter?

public object cbStruct { get { return Marshal.SizeOf(this); }}

Answer 4

modify the MYCLASS ctor,

public MYCLASS()
{
   cbStruct = Marshall.SizeOf(this);
}
