error messages about assigning value to string array in c#

[Adil1972]

Hi

I am learning C#. i dont understand what i am doing wrong in the following code in line 25. i know there are other ways to assign value to str1 string array. but all of them require assigning values one by one to all the elements of array. i want a shortcut like line 25 so that we dont have to write each variable of str1 manually

24) string[,] str1 = new string[2, 4] { { "11", "22", "zz", "ss" }, { "22", "033", "pp", "qq" } };

25) str1 = { { "11", "2", "33", "44"}, { "22", "033", "a", "b"} };

I am getting following error messages
