You can provide AND, OR, and NOT operators for your own class: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5tk49fh2(v=VS.80).aspx[^] but you can't define new operators. You can't extend the language, which is what that would require. (Well, you could with careful use of #DEFINE but the result would not be intuitively obvious and might cause maintenance headaches later)

In CodeProect there is actually an article to teach "how to create" custom operators. http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/31783/Custom-User-Defined-Operators-in-C
