What is the name of this C# syntax?

Question

In C#, you can do something like this:

SomeClass someClass = new SomeClass () {
    SomeProperty = someValue
};

What is this syntax called?

BTW, you don't need the parentheses `()`, if they are not supplied the parameter-less constructor will be invoked by default. — Christian C. Salvadó, Dec 30 '09 at 03:55

Wouldn't that be more like "Object initializer the name is. Hmmph! Much to learn you have." – Robert Groves Dec 30 '09 at 06:44

If I remember my Star Wars mythos correctly, Yoda spoke grammatically correct english up until the day he read *Chapter 7: Wisdom You Have Not, But Sound Like It You Will* of the book *Jedi Grammer Hacks: You May Have The Force, But Your Words Are Not Forceful*. ...or I just made that up. – Robert Groves Dec 30 '09 at 16:38
