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

You were almost there:

var dict = new Dictionary()
{ {0, "string"}, {1,"string2"},{2,"string3"}};
