Use collection expression for array (IDE0300)

Property Value
Rule ID IDE0300
Title Use collection expression for array
Category Style
Subcategory Language rules (expression-level preferences)
Applicable languages C# 12+
Options dotnet_style_prefer_collection_expression

Overview

This rule flags places where a collection expression could be used to initialize an array. For example, this rule offers to simplify code like new C[] { ... }, new[] { ... }, and C[] c = { ... } into the collection expression form ([...]).

Options

Options specify the behavior that you want the rule to enforce. For information about configuring options, see Option format.

dotnet_style_prefer_collection_expression

Property Value Description
Option name dotnet_style_prefer_collection_expression
Option values true | when_types_exactly_match Prefer to use collection expressions only when types match exactly, for example, int[] i = new int[] { 1, 2, 3 };.
when_types_loosely_match
(.NET 9 and later versions)*
Prefer to use collection expressions even when types match loosely, for example, IEnumerable<int> i = new int[] { 1, 2, 3 };. The targeted type must match the type on the right-hand side or be one of the following types: IEnumerable<T>, ICollection<T>, IList<T>, IReadOnlyCollection<T>, IReadOnlyList<T>.
false | never Disables the rule.
Default option value true in .NET 8
when_types_loosely_match in .NET 9 and later versions

*The code fix when this option is used might change the semantics of your code. For example, if you had IEnumerable<int> x = new int[] { 1, 2, 3 };, then in the original code, an array is produced. But in the new code (IEnumerable<int> x = [1, 2, 3];), an internal compiler-synthesized type is produced instead. You can observe this difference if you use an is check or a cast.

Example

// Code with violations.
int[] i = new int[] { 1, 2, 3 };
IEnumerable<int> j = new int[] { 1, 2, 3 };

// Fixed code.
int[] i = [1, 2, 3];
IEnumerable<int> j = [1, 2, 3];

Suppress a warning

If you want to suppress only a single violation, add preprocessor directives to your source file to disable and then re-enable the rule.

#pragma warning disable IDE0300
// The code that's violating the rule is on this line.
#pragma warning restore IDE0300

To disable the rule for a file, folder, or project, set its severity to none in the configuration file.

[*.{cs,vb}]
dotnet_diagnostic.IDE0300.severity = none

To disable all of the code-style rules, set the severity for the category Style to none in the configuration file.

[*.{cs,vb}]
dotnet_analyzer_diagnostic.category-Style.severity = none
