Problem with implicit conversion and null

c#, implicit-conversion, operator-overloading

Solution

I believe that your problem is that both sides of the ternary operator must be of the same or compatible types.

Try writing

if (v == null)
    return null;
else
    return new MyClass(v);

EDIT: I can only reproduce your issue if I make `MyClass` a struct, in which case your question is impossible; a struct cannot be null.

Please provide more details.

Problem

I have this function ``` public static implicit operator MyClass(string v) { return new MyClass(v); } ``` and write var.myclass = null;. This calls the implicit operator and passes null as string, which causes havoc in my code (i use reflection and would not like to add a special case). How can i write myclass = null without causing the implicit operator? I tried writing ``` public static implicit operator MyClass(string v) { return v == null ? null : new MyClass(v); } ``` But that causes a stackoverflow
