Question

I used in my C++/CLI project static array’s like:

static array < array< String^>^>^ myarray=
{
  {"StringA"},
  {"StringB"}
};

Is it possible to create a dictionary the same way?
I was not able to create and initialize one.

static Dictionary< String^, String^>^ myDic=
{
  {"StringA", "1"},
  {"StringB", "2"}
};

Your Dictionary example, and others, are called a Collection Initializer in C#.

You can’t do it in C++/CLI.

// C# 3.0
class Program
{
    static Dictionary<int, string> dict = new Dictionary<int, string>
    {
        {1, "hello"},
        {2, "goodbye"}
    };

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
    }
}
