hello Dilip...
Object Initializers were something added to C# 3, in order to simplify construction of objects when you're using an object.
Constructors run, given 0 or more parameters, and are used to create and initialize an object beforethe calling method gets the handle to the created object.

To put it in a simplest way it is a syntactic sugar which in a single line of code, creates and initializes the object. For example:

public class Person
{
public String Name {get; set;}
public Int32 Age {get; set;}
}

Notice that above code doesn't have a constructor with two parameters, however, you can code as follows:

Person p = new Person { Name = "Rajendra", Age = 23 };

Which gets expanded as:

Person t = new Person(); // default parameterless constructor called
t.Name = "Rajendra";
t.Age = 23;
p = t;

You can initialize as many of public properties as you want in a call.
