Creating a constant Dictionary in C#

Dictionary<string, int> ids = new Dictionary<string, int> { 
      {"abc",1}, {"def",2}, {"ghi",3} 
    };

How to write the same in VB?

[.paul.]

Dim ids As New Dictionary(Of String, Integer)
ids.Add("abc", 1)
ids.Add("def", 2)
ids.Add("ghi", 3)

It's too obvious to be what I need in Sorry...

In VB10 (VS 2010), you can have:

Dim ids As New Dictionary(Of String, Integer)() From {{"abc",1}, {"def",2}, {"ghi",3}}
