C# : Setting the properties of an object in a single block

Question

Is a way to set the properties of an object in a block using C#, similar to how you write an object initializer?

For example:

Button x = new Button(){
    Text = "Button",
    BackColor = Color.White
};

Is there a syntax similar to this that can be properties after the object has been created?

For example:

Button x = new Button();
x{
   Text = "Button",
   BackColor = Color.White
};

Answer 1

This form

Button x = new Button(){
    Text = "Button",
    BackColor = Color.White
};

Is part of the syntax for constructors and constructors only. You can't use the same syntax on the next line. You can leave out the (), though, and use a var for the variable type, to give you the more compact;

var x = new Button{
    Text = "Button",
    BackColor = Color.White
};

After construction, the only way to update it is through normal assignment operations;

x.Text = "Button";
