We can use Object Initialization Expressions in C#3.0 Features to create an Employee as follows:

We can use Collection Initialization Expressions in C#3.0 Features to create a list of Employees as follows:



The advantage of using this feature is that it saves your time for creating a lot of constructors or initializing the individual property.
