You can create a new object and initialize some of its properties in one shot. Most examples online are in C#, so here is an example in VB:

Dim mycar As New Car() With {.HasWheels = 4, .NumberOfAirbags = 2, .Passengers = 4}


As for array initialization, it looks like this:






Dim cars() = {New Car With {.Passengers = 4}, New Car With {.Passengers = 2}}




According to MSDN it says I can do it this way:






Dim cars = {New Car With {.Passengers = 4}, New Car With {.Passengers = 2}}




But that didn’t work for me and it gave the error: “Array initializers are valid only for arrays, but the type of ‘cars’ is ‘Object’”  So I guess type inference doesn’t work with array initialization.  This also doesn’t work with collections or array lists – ONLY arrays.
