var safeMode = new SafeMode(other) { WMode = "majority" };

The { WMode = "majority" } is what I am not familiar with. Is it a code, a collection initializer, or what?

What it does is calling a constructor of SafeMode. I wasn’t aware that you can add bracket stuffs after that. Is that a “code” or what?

The syntax is called Object Initializers.

the equivalent vb.net code could be this full code

Dim safeMode as New SafeMode(other)
With safeMode
 .WMode = "Majority"
End With

or using object initializer syntax.

Dim safeMode as New SafeMode(other) With { .WMode = "Majority" }
