Collection initializer in VB 2008

[Gilbert Tordeur]

Hello,

Since C# 2008 it is possible to initialize a collection like" this :

var digits = new List<int{0, 1, 2};

Is it also possible in VB 2008, and with what syntax ?

Thank you,
Gilbert

Hi Gilbert,

Dim digits = New List(Of Int32)(New Int32() {0, 1, 2})

There is no 'short-form' for specifying the initial value array (the answer
by Bill is the equivalent, but is not a new 'short-form'). This was
originally planned for VB 2008, but was shelved - I'd guess it will be in the
next version.
