Run function on creation of class instance C#

Question

I have a pice of initialiser code that should run when a new instance of a class is created, without having to be called. How would I do that ?

Update:

class Pice {

  public int Type;

  public void init() {

   Type = random(sudo);

  }

}

Now I would like the init to run only once when an instance of the class is created. So where do I put it ?

If the code is intended to run only once per class, it should be put in a so-called static constructor. — Codor, Jan 30 '17 at 14:01
BTW, for your random() call - if init is initializing the the random number generator class, [make sure you do this correctly or your numbers wont be too random](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/767999/random-number-generator-only-generating-one-random-number). — Taterhead, Jan 30 '17 at 14:47

Use the class constructor.

 public class MyClass
        {
            public MyClass() 
            {
                //Initialise
            }
        }

Why the downvote? This is a perfectly correct answer to a very simple question. – Andrew Diamond Jan 30 '17 at 14:04

Format this to fit your class name, paste into your class.cs file, and add your initialization logic.

public ClassName() {
    // initialization logic goes here
}

See this page for additional information.
