…s null + null-coalescing assignment When VB has Optional ByVal strParam As String = charConst, C# can't use a char literal as a string default. Replace the default with null and prepend strParam = strParam ?? charConst.ToString() in the method body. https://claude.ai/code/session_01AkwUvu3XuCdj3D4axoX4UX
…r string parameter Two tests cover the fix for converting VB Optional string parameters with char default values: one using a const reference and one using an inline char literal. https://claude.ai/code/session_01AkwUvu3XuCdj3D4axoX4UX
…ts.cs The TestOverridableAutoPropertyBackingFieldAccessAsync test (issue icsharpcode#827) was mistakenly added to this branch, which only contains the fix for issue icsharpcode#557. The icsharpcode#827 fix code is in a separate PR (icsharpcode#1252) and is not present here, so the test would always fail. https://claude.ai/code/session_01AkwUvu3XuCdj3D4axoX4UX
…lt for String params ExplicitDefaultValue is normalized to the parameter's declared type, so checking `ExplicitDefaultValue is not char` was always true for String params. Instead, retrieve the VB syntax default expression and check its actual type via the semantic model. https://claude.ai/code/session_01AkwUvu3XuCdj3D4axoX4UX

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This pattern of mutating previously set values is not recommended. We should set it to be null at the point of creation, then separately here we should add the null coalesce and use comments to mention the other place. This is obviously also not ideal, but a conceptual dependency from a distance is generally better than a concrete one where someone else might intercept it in between in the same style otherwise.
