What is Collection Initializer in c#.

Collection Initializer is used to create an instance of collection class and assign a value to any accessible fields or properties of it at the same time. It is not necessary to explicitly create a constructor.

Example:-

class Cat

{

    // Auto-implemented properties.

    public int Age { get; set; }

    public string Name { get; set; }

}

List<Cat> cats = new List<Cat>()

{

    new Cat(){ Name = "Sylvester", Age=8 },

    new Cat(){ Name = "Whiskers", Age=2 },

    new Cat(){ Name = "Sasha", Age=14 }

};

OR:-

List<int> MyInts = new List<int>() { 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 };
