In C# is it guaranteed that expressions are evaluated left to right?

For example:

myClass = GetClass();  
if (myClass == null || myClass.Property > 0)  
    continue;

Are there any languages that do not comply?

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
