Class instantiation execution order (Initialization order)

When you instantiate a class, this is the order in which it takes place

• Static fields (if not already initialized)
• Static constructor (if not already called)
• Instance fields
• Parent class static field (if not already initialized)
• Parent class static constructor (if not already called)
• Parent class instance field
• Parent class instance constructor
• Instance constructor

If you run this line of code, in the green comments you can see the order in which execution takes place

var c = new Child();

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

namespace ClassLibrary1

{

    public class Parent

    {

        public int I=0;//Executes 6th

        public static int X=0;//Executes 4th

         static Parent()

         {

             X = 10;//Executes 5th

         }

        public Parent()

        {

           I = 100;//Executes 7th

        }

    }

    public class Child:Parent

    {

        public int J=0;//Executes 3rd

        public static int Y=0;//Executes 1st

        static Child()

        {

            Y = 55;//Executes 2nd

        }

        public Child()

        {

            J = 5;//Executes 8th

        }

       

    }

}
