You can only initialize an object at the moment it's new'ed.
This should work, but be less efficient 
Float3* vertex_data = new Float3[3];
Float3 temp_data[] =

{ -0.5f, 2.0f, 0.0f },
{ 0.5f, 2.0f, 0.0f },

};
std::copy(temp_data, temp_data+3, vertex_data);

You can't initialize dynamic arrays that way, apparently (in MSVC 2013 anyway, it appears to work for PODs, but not structs - I'm not sure if that's just undefined behavior, or expected).
Is there a reason you can't just use a static array? e.g.:
Hi guys,
I am new to the forum. I joined long ago though I have never been active.
I have a question though. Why are you trying to initialize the struct with new Float3[3]{...} ? , why not new Float3[]{...} , cause it will deduce the type anyway.
