Does the C# Compiler supply a default constructor for reference types (if one not specified) or does the CLR?

Question

I believe (correct me if i am wrong), according to the C# rule for value types, there is no default constructor. The CLR will define the one for zeroing out the field values.

For reference type :

class Test
{

  private string Name;

}

Will the default constructor be supplied by C# or the CLR?

Answer 1

In the CLI specification, a constructor is mandatory for non-static classes, so at least a default constructor will be generated by the compiler if you don't specify another constructor.

So the default constructor will be supplied by the C# Compiler for you.
