How do I combine into one statement?
You can’t, lest you lose the reference to the document (
doc) and therefore find it to be inaccessible.As other answers have began filtering in to contradict my assertion, what I will say is this. Of course, you can create a method to do ‘the dirty work’ for you, but then you’re not really just turning this into a one-liner, you’re just disjointing the creation (and not really saving unless you need to write this in hundreds of different places).
This might not be a bad thing in many situations, but defining a class with a single extension method to facilitate this seems ridiculous. Specifying it locally, within a class where this would be extensively utilised could be a different matter.
All in all, my answer still stands fundamentally, not considering the many contrived ways you might ‘get around’ this.
