title: What are those extra curly brackets doing in C#?
body: <p>I have no idea how to search for this question; forgive me if it's redundant.</p>
  
  <p>So, I have some code like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>textBox1.InputScope = new InputScope { Names = { _Scope } };
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The Names property is of type IList</p>
  
  <p>Is my code adding an item to a list or creating a new list?</p>
