How to declare a static array of user-defined data types with hard-coded values?

Purpose:

I want to implement a hard-coded lookup table for data that often does not change, but when they change, I want to be able to quickly update the program and rebuild.

Plan:

My plan was to define a custom data type, for example ...

private class ScalingData
{
    public float mAmount;
    public String mPurpose;
    public int mPriority;

    ScalingData(float fAmount, String strPurpose, int iPriority)
    {
        mAmount = fAmount;
        mPurpose = strPurpose;
        mPriority = iPriority;
    }
}

and then in the main class hard set the array this way ...

public static ScalingData[] ScalingDataArray =
{
        {1.01f, "Data point 1", 1},
        {1.55f, "Data point 2", 2}
};

However, this is not being built. I continue to see the message " ". Type mismatch: cannot convert from float[] to ScalingData

How can I achieve my goal?

UPDATE

I tried to implement the proposals so far, but still ran into an error ...

The code looks like this:

public class CustomConverter
{
    //Lookup Table
    private static ScalingData[] ScalingDataArray =
    {
        new ScalingData(1.01f, "Data point 1", 1),
        new ScalingData(1.55f, "Data point 2", 2)
    };


    //Constructor
    CustomConverter()
    {
        //does stuff
    }


    //Custom Data type
    private class ScalingData
    {
        public float mAmount;
        public String mPurpose;
        public int mPriority;

        ScalingData(float fAmount, String strPurpose, int iPriority)
        {
            mAmount = fAmount;
            mPurpose = strPurpose;
            mPriority = iPriority;
        }
    }
}

and an error with a hard-coded array

No enclosing instance of type CustomConverter is accessible.
   Must qualify the allocation with an enclosing instance of type CustomConverter
   (e.g. x.new A() where x is an instance of CustomConverter).

EDIT ... complete solution in accordance with the answers below

public class CustomConverter
{
    //Lookup Table
    private static ScalingData[] ScalingDataArray =
    {
        new ScalingData(1.01f, "Data point 1", 1),
        new ScalingData(1.55f, "Data point 2", 2)
    };


    //Constructor
    CustomConverter()
    {
        //does stuff
    }


    //Custom Data type
    private static class ScalingData
    {
        public float mAmount;
        public String mPurpose;
        public int mPriority;

        ScalingData(float fAmount, String strPurpose, int iPriority)
        {
            mAmount = fAmount;
            mPurpose = strPurpose;
            mPriority = iPriority;
        }
    }
}
