Another variation of using new operator in C#

I've just learned about another variation we can use in C# to instantiate a class and set its member fields or properties. It's good to know in case you haven't known about it yet.

For example, let's say we have a class Foo with following code:

    class Foo

    {

        public int A;

        public int B;

        public int C;

    }

If I want to create the Foo object and set its properties, I always write it like this way for example:

        Foo foo = new Foo();

        foo.A = 1;

        foo.B = 2;

        foo.C = 3;

Apparently I also could write the code slightly different, but still achieving the same objective as:

        Foo foo = new Foo()

        {

            A = 1, B = 2, C = 3

        };

With this variation, we don't gain anything other than less typing, for instance if we use a long variable name :-)
