Add keys/values to Dictionary at declaration

Very easy today, I think. In C#, its:

Dictionary<String, String> dict = new Dictionary<string, string>() { { "", "" } };

But in vb, the following doesn't work.

Public dict As Dictionary(Of String, String) = New Dictionary(Of String, String) (("",""))

I'm pretty sure there's a way to add them at declaration, but I'm not sure how. And yes, I want to add them at declaration, not any other time. :) So hopefully it's possible. Thanks everyone.

I've also tried:

Public dict As Dictionary(Of String, String) = New Dictionary(Of String, String) ({"",""})

And...

Public dict As Dictionary(Of String, String) = New Dictionary(Of String, String) {("","")}

And...

Public dict As Dictionary(Of String, String) = New Dictionary(Of String, String) {{"",""}}
