CSHARP.STRUCT.CONDASSIG : Assignment in Conditional (C#)

Summary

The assignment into a Boolean value is used in a condition, while == would be expected.

This checker identifies incorrect or inefficient comparisons through Equals() or ==. In some cases, these comparisons are wrong: for instance, strings should be compared for equality through Equals() rather than through ==. Classes can be safely compared through == instead. In other cases, these comparisons can be replaced by more efficient code.
