Is there some way I could combine this C# code?
<p>I have the following code. It looks to me like there is a way I could combine it into one statement but I am not sure how to do this. </p>

<pre><code>List&lt;SelectListItem&gt; items = new List&lt;SelectListItem&gt;();

var emptyItem = new SelectListItem(){
    Value = "",
    Text  = "00"
};

items.Add(emptyItem);

ViewBag.AccountIdList = new SelectList(items);
</code></pre>

<p>Can someone tell me if it's possible to simplify this. </p>

<p>Thanks,</p>
