Need help understanding some code (parameters)

[sweetnessandkindness]

class Member
    {
        public Member()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Parent Constructor with no parameter");
        }

        public Member(string pName, int pMemberID, int pMemberSince)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Parent Constructor with 3 parameters");

            name = pName;
            memberID = pMemberID;
            memberSince = pMemberSince;
        }

        protected int annualFee; //protected classes are a access modifer that can only be accessed through this class and classes that derive from it
        private string name;
        private int memberID;
        private int memberSince;

        public override string ToString()
        {
            return "\nName: " + name + "\nMember ID: " + memberID + "\nMember since: " + memberSince + "\nAnnual fee:" + annualFee;
        }

        public void CalculateAnnualFee()

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Here's the entire class but the focus is only on this part:

  public Member(string pName, int pMemberID, int pMemberSince)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Parent Constructor with 3 parameters");

            name = pName;
            memberID = pMemberID;
            memberSince = pMemberSince;
        }
        {
            annualFee = 0;
        }
    }

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I just can't seem to wrap my head around how this function works with the class? If that makes sense? It's really everything about this that I don't seem to get so this isn't very specific, sorry.

That is called a constructor. Do some reading on constructors and then post back if there's still something that you don't understand.

Did you acquire this code from MSDN Forums? If you wrote the code yourself, you'd surely know how it works and what it is doing. Can you explain a little as to what it is that you don't understand?
