Introduction

You can initialize accessible fields or properties via an object initializer.

For example, consider the following class: 

class Person
{
       public string Name;
       public bool CanSpeakJava;
       public bool CanSpeakCSharp;

       public Person () {}
       public Person (string n) { Name = n; }
}

Using object initializers, you can instantiate Person objects as follows:

parameterless constructors can omit empty parentheses 

Person b1 = new Person { Name="Bo", CanSpeakJava=true, CanSpeakCSharp=false };
Person b2 = new Person ("Bo"){ CanSpeakJava=true, CanSpeakCSharp=false };

Demo

using System;
class MainClass//from w ww .j a va  2  s  . c o  m
{
   public static void Main(string[] args)
   {

        Person b1 = new Person { Name="Bo", CanSpeakJava=true, CanSpeakCSharp=false };
        Person b2 = new Person ("Bo"){ CanSpeakJava=true, CanSpeakCSharp=false };
        
        Console.WriteLine(b2.Name);
        Console.WriteLine(b2.CanSpeakJava);
        Console.WriteLine(b2.CanSpeakCSharp);

   }
}
class Person
{
       public string Name;
       public bool CanSpeakJava;
       public bool CanSpeakCSharp;

       public Person () {}
       public Person (string n) { Name = n; }
}
