Question

For my parser i want to (depending on user input) save parse stats for the sites a user chooses to parse.

So lets say the user chooses site A, site B and site D:

I then from my threads want to be able to add different statitsitcs like; links parsed, pages parsed, duplicates found, etc. (so basically int values for the sites).

How would i create this into c#?
My idea is to make some kind of multidimensional array?

Is there a better way?

Any suggestions are very welcome 🙂

Answer 1

I would create a class that encapsulates the statistics and than use a dictionary with a website name as key.

public class Statistics
{
    public int PagesParsed { get; set; }
}

var collection = new Dictionary<string, Statistics>();

collection.Add("Site A", new Statistics { PagesParsed = 42 });
var siteAStatistics = collection["Site A"];
