How to call one constructor from the body of another in C#?

Question

To call one constructor from the body of another in C#, you can use the 
this() keyword. The this() keyword refers to the current object.
The following code shows how to call one constructor from the body of another:
C#
class Person {
    public Person() {
        // This is the default constructor.
    }
    public Person(string name) {
        // This constructor takes a name parameter.
        this(); // Call the default constructor first.
        this.Name = name;
    }
    public string Name { get; set; }
}
In this example, the Person() constructor is the default constructor. The
Person(string name) constructor takes a name parameter. The first line of the
Person(string name) constructor calls the Person() constructor first. This is done to ensure that the fields of the
Person class are initialized before the name property is set.
