[c#] What's the C# equivalent to the With statement in VB?

Equivalence of “With…End With” in c#?

There was one feature of VB that I really like...the With statement. Does C# have any equivalent to it? I know you can use using to not have to type a namespace, but it is limited to just that. In VB you could do this:

With Stuff.Elements.Foo
    .Name = "Bob Dylan"
    .Age = 68
    .Location = "On Tour"
    .IsCool = True
End With

The same code in C# would be:

Stuff.Elements.Foo.Name = "Bob Dylan";
Stuff.Elements.Foo.Age = 68;
Stuff.Elements.Foo.Location = "On Tour";
Stuff.Elements.Foo.IsCool = true;

This question is related to c# vb.net

The answer is


The closest thing in C# 3.0, is that you can use a constructor to initialize properties:

Stuff.Elements.Foo foo = new Stuff.Elements.Foo() {Name = "Bob Dylan", Age = 68, Location = "On Tour", IsCool = true}

Aside from object initializers (usable only in constructor calls), the best you can get is:

var it = Stuff.Elements.Foo;
it.Name = "Bob Dylan";
it.Age = 68;
