title: Collection Initializers with Automatic Properties
body: <p>Is there a way to use a collection initializer when also using automatic properties?</p>
  
  <pre><code>// Uses collection initializer but not automatic properties
  private List&lt;int&gt; _numbers = new List&lt;int&gt;();
  public List&lt;int&gt; Numbers
  {
      get { return _numbers; }
      set { _numbers = value; }
  }
  
  
  // Uses automatic properties but not collection initializer
  public List&lt;int&gt; Numbers { get; set; }
  
  
  // Is there some way to do something like this??
  public List&lt;int&gt; Numbers { get; set; } = new List&lt;int&gt;();
  </code></pre>
