Question

The following code is being produced in CodeDom. When I set the target framework to .net 4.0 it works fine – no errors or warnings. When I set the target framework to .net 2.0, I get the following error:

CS1526: A new expression requires () or [] after type

test soVar;
soVar = new test { foo = 0x10007 }; // Error occurs on this line

    [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
    struct test
    {
        public uint foo;
    }

What is going on here?! Why would switching to .net 2.0 all of the sudden raise an error?

Look forward to any ideas here.

Thanks,

Evan

Answer 1

test soVar;
soVar = new test { foo = 0x10007 }; // Error occurs on this line

.net 2.0 does not support object initializers. it will have to do

test soVar;
soVar = new test(); 
soVar.foo = 0x10007;
