The following console app prints "in B ctor". A ctor is not called
when creating B.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            B b = new B();

            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }

    class A
    {
        public A()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("in A ctor");
        }
    }

    class B
    {
        public B()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("in B ctor");
        }
    }
}
