title: How to insert values into VB.NET Dictionary on instantiation?
body: <p>Is there a way that I can insert values into a VB.NET Dictionary when I create it? I can, but don't want to, do dict.Add(int, "string") for each item. </p>
  
  <p>Basically, I want to do <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1039610">"How to insert values into C# Dictionary on instantiation?"</a> with VB.NET. </p>
  
  <pre><code>var dictionary = new Dictionary&lt;int, string&gt;
      {
          {0, "string"},
          {1, "string2"},
          {2, "string3"}
      };
  </code></pre>
