Shorten a VB.NET array declaration?

Question

Question: How to shorten this array creation ?
I need to create an array of type ReportingService2005_WebService.Property with one property.

Something like:

Dim PropertyArray() as new  ReportingService2005_WebService.Property(1)

I have to do this:

        Dim PropertyArray As ReportingService2005_WebService.Property() = New ReportingService2005_WebService.Property(0) {}
        PropertyArray(0) = New ReportingService2005_WebService.Property
        PropertyArray(0).Name = "Description"
        PropertyArray(0).Value = "Automatically added DataSource"

Dim PropertyArray() As ReportingService2005_WebService.Property = { _
    new ReportingService2005_WebService.Property() With {.Name = "Description", .Value="Automatically added DataSource" } _
}

Make sure your "array brackets" are in the correct place in the initial Dim statement. Should be: Dim PropertyArray()...

what version of VB.NET is required? E.g. would it work with the version of VB.NET corresponding to Visual Studio 2008?
