Question

For example:

root.Nodes.Add(new TNode() { Foo1 = bar1, Foo2 = bar2, Foo3 = bar3 }); 

or:

root.Nodes.Add(new TNode() { Foo1 = bar1,                               Foo2 = bar2,                               Foo3 = bar3 }); 

Answer 1

I’ve done it both ways.. IMO it depends on the complexity of the initialization.

If it is simple 2 or 3 properties I will initialize on one line generally, but if i’m setting up an object with values for insertion into a database or something that has alot of properties i’ll break it out like your second example.

Income income = new Income {     Initials = something,     CheckNumber = something,     CheckDate = something,     BranchNumber = something }; 

or

return new Report.ReportData { ReportName = something, Formulas = something};
