Inline list initialization in VB.NET [duplicate]

Collection initialization syntax in Visual Basic 2008?

How is the following C# code translated to VB.NET?

var theVar = new List<string>{"one", "two", "three"};

Solution 1:

Collection initializers are only available in VB.NET 2010, released 2010-04-12:

Dim theVar = New List(Of String) From { "one", "two", "three" }

Solution 2:

Use this syntax for VB.NET 2005/2008 compatibility:

Dim theVar As New List(Of String)(New String() {"one", "two", "three"})

Although the VB.NET 2010 syntax is prettier.
