static initialization of lists

[jeffc]

I have the following declaration, and I want to initialize the list at the
same time. Is there a way?
private static List<StringFILE_LIST = new List<String>();

Not in C# 1 or 2 :(

Actually, that's not quite true... it's ugly as heck, but this works:

static readonly List<stringFileList = new List<string>
(new string[] {"First file", "Second file"});

In C# 3 you can use collection initializers:

static readonly List<stringFileList = new List<string>
{
"First file"
"Second file"
};

Much nicer :)
