How does this C# code work (in aspx.cs class)

Question

I'm confused at the following code, it looks like it's disabled here?

    public bool GetFormsCredentials(out Cookie authCookie, out string userName, out string password, out string authority) {
        authCookie = null;
        userName = password = authority = null;
        return false;
    }

shouldn't it look like this?

userName =  myName
password =  12345
authority = someAuthority

-1, because "shouldn't it look like this" is unanswerable without context. — user, Feb 25 '13 at 16:09
don't really understand your question. The method you have, as @walkhard says just returns all out parameters and run and results a false. Looks like stub code to me that someone should implement. Also, not sure what you mean by "looks like it's disabled here". — David Hope, Feb 25 '13 at 16:09

In C# assignment operation "=" returns assigned value, so above code exacutes as follows:

userName = (password = (authority = null));

or

authority = null;
password = authority;
userName = password;
