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

c#, vb.net

Solution

Not really, you have to assign a variable. So

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

Or in C# 3.0 and above:

    var bar = new FooType
    {
        Name = "Bob Dylan",
        Age = 68,
        Location = "On Tour",
        IsCool = True
    };

    Stuff.Elements.Foo = bar;

Problem

Possible Duplicate: 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; ```
