I'm deepening my knowledge in C# in particular MVVM. In an example from the internet, I found an implementation of the ICommand interface where I came across a syntax that I couldn't find a reference and I can't understand exactly what it does...
My question is, what exacly is the " : this (execute, null)" afther the paramiters of the Method below:
public RelayCommand(Action<object> execute) : this (execute, null) { }
I don't know what is a ":" after method paramiters and why it is there
Here is the complete sample:
public class RelayCommand : ICommand
{
readonly Action<object> _execute;
readonly Predicate<object> _canExecute;
public RelayCommand(Action<object> execute, Predicate<object> canExecute)
{
if (execute == null)
throw new NullReferenceException("execute");
_execute = execute;
_canExecute = canExecute;
}
public RelayCommand(Action<object> execute) : this(execute, null)
{
}
public event EventHandler CanExecuteChanged
{
add { CommandManager.RequerySuggested += value; }
remove { CommandManager.RequerySuggested -= value; }
}
public bool CanExecute(object parameter)
{
return _canExecute == null ? true : _canExecute(parameter);
}
public void Execute(object parameter)
{
_execute.Invoke(parameter);
}
}
