Missing the 'with' keyword in C# [duplicate]

Answer 1

No, the "with" keyword was intentionally left out of the language.

If you have a lengthy name of reference, you can easily make a shorter reference to it using a variable, and even give it a limited scope:

{
   SomeClass r = Some.Lengthy.Path.To.Get.To.A.Referece;
   r.Some = 42;
   r.Properites = "none";
   r.To = 1;
   r.Set = null;
}
