One line way to assign values to an array of structure?

Question

In VB.net, is there a way to assign values to an array of structure in a single line? For example if I have an array of structure like this:

Public Structure CommandInfo
    Public CommandChar As Char
    Public CommandType As String
    Public Description As String    
End Structure
Public CommandSet(NumCommands - 1) As CommandInfo

Is there a way to assign values to the array like this:

CommandSet(0)={"C", "Initialization", "Initialize pump motor"}

Otherwise, I've been having to do a line of code for each structure element for each array element--it's a little ugly. Thanks!

Note that if you write your own collection with a custom Add routine taking three arguments, you can array syntax like {{"C", "Initialization", "..."}, {"D", "Deletion", "..."}} etc. As a small aside, I'd suggest you turn Option Strict On. You should need to specify the character argument as "C"C. — Craig

Try this:

CommandSet(0) = New CommandInfo With {.CommandChar = "C", .CommandType = "Initialization", .Description = "Initialize pump motor"}
