Channel 9 Interview: Array and Collection Initializers in Visual Basic 2010

  • Article

I’ve written about collection initializers here on this blog before, but I thought I’d catch up with the VB Team to tell me more about how they really work.

In this interview Spotty Bowles, a tester on the VB Compiler team, shows us a couple of new language features: Array and Collection Initializers. He gives us insight into how they are implemented in the compiler and best practices on how to use them in our code. Additionally, he discusses how to extend Collection Initializers with your own extension methods.
