VB.Net doesn't allowing inline initialization of list

Question

I am trying to create list of object using inline code.

Dim lstPopupProps As New List(Of Object)(New Object() With {.Name = "", .Age = 20})

but I am getting an error

Object initializer object cannot be use to initialize an instance of System.Object

Is there any way to create list of object like this or I will have to add objects one by one?

Answer 1

The syntax for list initializers in VB.NET is From {…} and the syntax for anonymous types is New With:

Dim lstPopupProps As New List(Of Object) From {
    New With {.Name = "", .Age = 20}
}
