I know that C# has the using keyword, but using disposes of the object automatically.

Is there the equivalence of With...End With in Visual Basic 6.0?

Answer

It's not equivalent, but would this syntax work for you?

Animal a = new Animal()
{
    SpeciesName = "Lion",
    IsHairy = true,
    NumberOfLegs = 4
};
