CodeDom and collection initializers

Question

Is there a way to generate a dictionary initializer using the C# CodeDom? Are those supported at all?

I would like to have:

private IDictionary<string, string> map = new Dictionary<string, string>
{
    { "Name", "Value" },
    ...
};

Answer 1

This is not possible using the CodeDom constructs. They were not updated for collection initializers.

LukeH has an excellent blog post on the subject of 3.5 features and the CodeDom
