I have two questions about Structure in CSharp:

1. Why we can not override the Default Constructor in Structure.

2. Why we can not initialize the Fields in Structure.
 
There are some interop situations where the runtime could not guarantee that
such a constructor would be run, and therefore the language prohibits you
from writing one.

Initializing fields is the same issue, as it is done as part of the
constructor.

structs are handled differently than classes in C#. The runtime will
automatically create default constructors that initialize your fields
to zero, false or null. This allows for quicker allocation of structs,
then classes. If you need default constructors or initializers, then
use a class.
