C# Error

CS0622 – Can only use array initializer expressions to assign to array types. Try using a new expression instead.

Reason for the Error & Solution

Can only use array initializer expressions to assign to array types. Try using a new expression instead.

Syntax that is appropriate to initialize an array was used in the declaration of a non-array.

Example

The following sample generates CS0622:

// CS0622.cs  
using System;  
  
public class Test  
{  
    public static void Main ()  
    {  
        Test t = { new Test() };   // CS0622  
        // Try the following instead:  
        // Test[] t = { new Test() };  
    }  
}
