How to declare an array of objects in C#

I have a very beginning C# question. Suppose I have a class called GameObject, and I want to create an array of GameObject entities. I could think of writing code like:

GameObject[] houses = new GameObject[200];

The compiler complains (assuming because of invalid syntax). Since this is XNA development, I load my texture in the LoadContent() method as follows:

 houses[0].Model = Content.Load<Model>("Models\\Building_01 Windowed");

where houses[0] should be a GameObject and can be loaded like this, but the compiler throws this error:

"Use the "new" keyword to create an object instance"

"Check to determine if the object is null before calling the method"

There must be something wrong with my initialization.

For people still looking

    Object[] obj = {
        new { key = "key", value = "value"},
        new { key = "key", value = "value"},
        new { key = "key", value = "value"},
        new { key = "key", value = "value"}
    };

you need to initialize the object elements of the array. 

GameObject[] houses = new GameObject[200];

for (int i=0;`i<house` i<houses.length; i++)
{ houses[i] = new GameObject();}

Of course you initialize elements selectively using different constructors anywhere else before you reference them.
