Is there a an easier way to initialize a List>, like a Dictionary?

Question

Actually I need something like List> but I want to be able to initialize it like dictionary (i.e. without writing new KeyVa

Answer 1

The code you have typed works fine - further to Mads Togersen's post about the implementation of collection initialisers, the compiler maps the brace-delimited entries ({"key1", "value1"} above) to an Add method on the collection with the same signature - in this case Dictionary.Add(TKey, TValue).
