I’m trying to determine if there’s a way in Visual Basic 2008 (Express edition if that matters) to do inline collection initialization, a la JavaScript or Python:
Dim oMapping As Dictionary(Of Integer, String) = {{1,'First'}, {2, 'Second'}}
I know Visual Basic 2008 supports array initialization like this, but I can’t seem to get it to work for collections… Do I have the syntax wrong, or is it just not implemented?
Visual Basic 9.0 doesn’t support this yet. However, Visual Basic 10.0 will.
