How to overloaded unary operator = in c#. it is giving error

Question

Unable to overloaded unary operator = in c#. it is giving error.

public static Result operator =(Int32 iv)
{
    return new Result(){iv=iv};
}

Perhaps a use-case would help. As it stands there is only one correct answer: you can't. If we knew how/why you were planning on using this, we might be able to offer better methods. — Jonathon Reinhart, Jan 20 '14 at 22:59

You cannot overload the = operator in C#.

From 7.2.2 Operator overloading:

In particular, it is not possible to overload member access, method invocation, or the =, &&, ||, ?:, checked, unchecked, new, typeof, as, and is operators.
