How do you initialize a FormCollection with properties in .NET?

Question

I've tried the usual way of:

var form = new FormCollection { "WeekList" = weekfilter, "PracticeList" = practicefilter}

and all possible deviations I could think of, but ultimately had to seperate it apart as:

var form = new FormCollection();
form["WeekList"] = weekfilter;
form["PracticeList"] = practicefilter;

How can I initialize this inline? Is it possible? (I'm basically trying to mimic a form being submitted)

Answer 1

If you're using ASP.NET MVC (not core), you can initialize System.Web.Mvc.FormCollection like this:

var form = new FormCollection {
    {"WeekList", weekfilter},
    {"PracticeList", practicefitler}
}

But I'm not the right computer to test this. I'm basing this on the .Add method of FormCollection begin declared as:

public virtual void Add(
    string name,
    string value
)

What types are the filter variables declared as?
