Resolved Having an input problem

[Elkish]

I'm having a small bit of trouble with this line of code:

/*the first
three lines
had info abt the website*/
using System;

public class HelloWorld
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
    string name = Console.ReadLine();
    if (name = "John");
    {Console.WriteLine("Hello");
    }
    }
}

/* Output is as follows: /tmp/x5zYDaeba9.cs(11,9): error CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'bool'
/tmp/x5zYDaeba9.cs(11,23): warning CS0642: Possible mistaken empty statement*/

I'm attempting to create a password lock but I cant figure out how if statments work with user input
