Initializing list inline

Question

I\'m getting a weird error when doing this: (.net 2.0)

public overrides List getSpaceballs
{
    get { return new List() { \"abc\         


        

Answer 1

As the other users point out, that is not supported in 2.0. However, you can mimic it by doing the following.

public overrides List getSpaceballs
{
   get { return new List ( new String[] {"abc","def","egh"} ); }
}

Please note that this creates some computational overhead.
