Anonymous Constructor in C#

C# 3.0 introduced a very compact way of initializing objects of a class.

Previously we used to initialize objects like this:

MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage();
            mailMessage.Subject=UIConstants.UIErrorSubject;
            mailMessage.Body = message;
            mailMessage.BodyEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(UIConstants.NewAccountMailBodyEncoding);
            mailMessage.From = new MailAddress(UIConstants.Me2AdminEmail);
  

Now, with the new feature known as Anonymous Constructors or Object Intializers we can do the same code in C# 3.0 and above like this:

 MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage()
            {
                Subject = UIConstants.UIErrorSubject,
                Body = message,
                BodyEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(UIConstants.NewAccountMailBodyEncoding),
                From = new MailAddress(UIConstants.Me2AdminEmail)
            };
  

In the C# 3.0 code, there is no constructor that corresponds to the way I instantiated the object. This prevents developers from having to create a different constructor for each different set of properties that need to be set. It also make the code easier to read.
