Possible to mix object initializer and collection initializer?

Question

I define an collection initializer with IEnumerable as instructed here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb384062.aspx

Now I\'m able to create objects within

Answer 1

I don't recommend in this case, but it's possible to use multiple Add overloads.

So in ArrangedPannel include

public void Add(int padding)
{
    Padding = padding;
}

Then can defined in code like

debugPanel.Add(new ArrangedPanel() 
{ 
    5, // is this Padding?
    new ButtonToggle(),
    new ButtonToggle()
});

But I prefer @Haymo's answer because here it's not clear what '5' is set to, and multiple int properties will probably lead to crazy code like

public void Add(int intProp)
{
    var current = intPropSetCount++;
    switch(current)
    {
        case 0: Padding = intProp; return;
        case 1: SecondProp = intProp; return;
        // ...
        default: throw new Exception();
    }
}

This idea is probably best left for combining multiple collections into 1 wrapper.
