Question

I’m trying to create a list of a class that has nested class in it. Can I somehow use yield in a function to make it shorter and more readeable?

var links = new List<UserLink>();

links.Add(new UserLink
    {
        Name = "A",
        Url = "B.com",
        Something = "C",
        Parameters =
            { 
                new Parameter { Name = "X", Value = "Y" }, 
                new Parameter { Name = "Z", ParameterValue = "0" }
            }
    });

The only thing I can think of is using constructor, then it will be shorter, though less readable:

links.Add(new UserLink("A", "B.com", "C", new Parameter("X", "Y" ), new Parameter("Z", "0")));

The last part (passing variable number of Parameter objects) can be achieved by the params keyword:

public UserLink(string name, string url, string something = "C", params Parameter[] parameters)
{
    //....
}
