Question

I know this might a simple question, but is there a way to add a Button (or other controls) to a Windows Form in just one line? Something like:

// Control constructor: new Control(string text, int left, int top, int x, int y)

Control.Add(new Control("Press me!", 100, 100, 40, 40) as Button);

since I want to use the Control constructor to define both the button’s size and position on the form.

Thanks in advance.

You can use property initializers when constructing an object:

Controls.Add(
    new Button    
    {
       Text = "Press me",
       Left = 400,
       // initialize any properties you wish
    });
