Usage with non-default constructors C# with Example
You can combine object initializers with constructors to initialize types if necessary. Take for example a class defined as such: public class Book { public string Title { get; set; } public string Author { get; set; } public Book(int id) { //do things } // the rest of class definition } var someBook = new Book(16) { Title = "Don Quixote", Author = "Miguel de Cervantes" } This will first instantiate a Book with the Book(int) constructor, then set each property in the initializer. It is equivalent to: var someBook = new Book(16); someBook.Title = "Don Quixote"; someBook.Author = "Miguel de Cervantes";
