Add specific Button with Control constructor?

I know this might a simple question, but is there a way to add a Button (or other controls) to a Windows Form in just one line? Something like:

// Control constructor: new Control(string text, int left, int top, int x, int y)

Control.Add(new Control("Press me!", 100, 100, 40, 40) as Button);

since I want to use the Control constructor to define both the button's size and position on the form.

Thanks in advance.

You can do this, but first you have to create Button class instance and then add it to the Controls collection. For example like this:

var button = new Button();
button.Name = "btnTest";
button.Size = new Size(10,10);

and then:

Controls.Add(button);

You can use property initializers when constructing an object:

Controls.Add(
    new Button    
    {
       Text = "Press me",
       Left = 400,
       // initialize any properties you wish
    });
