How to: Initialize Objects by Using an Object Initializer

 The following code consolidates examples from the topic.

class ObjInitializers
{
    class Cat
    {
        // Auto-implemented properties.
        public int Age { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
    }

    static void Main()
    {
        Cat cat = new Cat { Age = 10, Name = "Fluffy" };

        List<Cat> cats = new List<Cat>
        {
            new Cat(){ Name = "Sylvester", Age=8 },
            new Cat(){ Name = "Whiskers", Age=2 },
            new Cat(){ Name = "Sasha", Age=14 }
        };

        List<Cat> moreCats = new List<Cat>
        {
            new Cat(){ Name = "Furrytail", Age=5 },
            new Cat(){ Name = "Peaches", Age=4 },
            null
        };

        // Display results.
        System.Console.WriteLine(cat.Name);

        foreach (Cat c in cats)
            System.Console.WriteLine(c.Name);

        foreach (Cat c in moreCats)
            if (c != null)
                System.Console.WriteLine(c.Name);
            else
                System.Console.WriteLine("List element has null value.");
    }
    // Output:
    //Fluffy
    //Sylvester
    //Whiskers
    //Sasha
    //Furrytail
    //Peaches
    //List element has null value.
}
