How to insert values into C# Dictionary on instantiation?

Question

Does anyone know if there is a way I can insert values into a C# Dictionary when I create it? I can, but don\'t want to, do dict.Add(int, \"string\") for each item

Answer 1

Dictionary dictionary = new Dictionary { 
   { 0, "string" }, 
   { 1, "string2" }, 
   { 2, "string3" } };
