Really no idea what happened here...

The type of "Folders" is List<string>, so it should suggest it (as it did correctly for the "Files" right above)

That's different...

On the line above, the "Files" line, it ends with a comma. Is this deliberate? This doesn't look like valid syntax to me, but you might well be doing something that I am not used to. If this is a mistake, if you replace the comma with a semi-colon, and give VA a moment to catch up, does this change the suggestion for "Folders"?

I am wondering if the line above is confusing our parser, resulting in this rather unhelpful suggestion.

Its a valid initializer. Files and Folders are members of the BackupPlanFilesAndFolders class, thus they are initialized inline.

	x.FilesAndFolders = new List<BackupPlanFilesAndFolders>
	{
		new BackupPlanFilesAndFolders()
		{
			Files = new List<string>(),
			Folders = new List<string>()
		}
	};

is equivalent to
	x.FilesAndFolders = new List<BackupPlanFilesAndFolders>();
	x.FilesAndFolders.Add(new BackupPlanFilesAndFolders());
	x.FilesAndFolders[0].Files = new List<string>();
	x.FilesAndFolders[0].Folders = new List<string>();

The (simplified) class definition:

class BackupPlanFilesAndFolders
{
	public List<string> Files;
	public List<string> Folders;
}


Maybe the fact that its an inline initializer inside an inline initializer (List<> and the class) but that actually shouldnt make any difference, after all its normal use.

Thank you for explaining, I have reproduced this here now. Trying to pin down the extent of the problem now.

I think this is caused by us not properly understanding the C# syntax here, so I have put the examples into:

case=962

The problem with the C# initializers is actually covered by

case=24121

and we are hoping to have a fix fairly soon, but I don't currently have a solid estimate for when.
