Question: How to shorten this array creation ?
I need to create an array of type ReportingService2005_WebService.Property with one property.

Something like:

Dim PropertyArray() as new  ReportingService2005_WebService.Property(1)

I have to do this:

        Dim PropertyArray As ReportingService2005_WebService.Property() = New ReportingService2005_WebService.Property(0) {}
        PropertyArray(0) = New ReportingService2005_WebService.Property
        PropertyArray(0).Name = "Description"
        PropertyArray(0).Value = "Automatically added DataSource"

Dim PropertyArray()…
