VB.Net等效于Indexer Initializer

Question

Is there any VB.NET equivalent to the C#6 Indexer Initializer construct?

var placesByZip = new Dictionary<string, string>
     {
         ["63368"] = "Dardenne Prairie",
         ["63141"] = "Des Peres",
         ["63101"] = "St. Louis"
     };

--Edit--

Just to be more precise, I'm looking for the Indexer Initializer (which is an object initializer), not the collection initializer.

More information on the difference can be found near the end of this blog entry .

-- Edit2:

From the blog mentionned, the solution should allow to do this:

Again, I wish to reiterate that the Indexer Initializer is not a type of Collection Initializer, it's a type of Object Initializer. Why do I keep saying this? Why is this distinction important? Because you cannot mix object initializers and collection initializers in the same initialization list.

So, we can't initialize a collection and set a property in the same initialization list, but we can set a property, field, and indexer in the same initialization list since they are all valid Object Initializers.

Answer 1

There's no such feature in Visual Basic.

Answer 2

It should be

Dim placesByZip as New Dictionary(Of String, String) From {
{"63368", "Dardenne Prairie"}, 
{"63141", "Des Peres"},
{"63101", "St. Louis"}
}

(never tried it before)

Answer 3

It is

    Dim placesByZip As New Dictionary(Of String, String) From {
        {"63368", "Dardenne Prairie"},
        {"63141", "Des Peres"},
        {"63101", "St. Louis"}}

Collection Initializers

Answer 4

As of 2019-06-27, VB.NET version 15.8 (VS 2017), object initialization from indexed members is not authorized according to Microsoft documentation on object initializers .

Class members being initialized cannot be indexed or qualified

For completeness sake, neither is it mentioned in collection initializers documentation .
