visual basic equivalent of "rectangle a=new a() { width=1; height=2; }"

Question

rectangle a=new a() { width=1; height=2; }

I used to construct objects like this, it there a similar way to do this in visual basic? I'm sorry I couldn't really label the technique.

This is a C# [object initializer](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/vstudio/bb384062.aspx) — Oded, Mar 12 '13 at 10:01

In an object initializer, use commas not semicolons. You can leave out the `()` in C# when you use the parameterless instance constructor together with an object initializer. The type (class) is hardly called `a` when the variable is `a`. Use `rectangle` or whatever. — Jeppe Stig Nielsen, Mar 12 '13 at 10:46

The Rectangle has a constructor to define width and height:

Dim r As New Rectangle(1, 1, 200, 300) 'x,y,width,height
