Question

I am using c#

I have got below string in my variable.

string results = "Mr,Mike,Lewis,32,Project Manager,India";

Now I want to add these values in Dictionary type of session variable. I have declared a dict type variable in my code.

Dictionary<string, string> skywardsDetails = new Dictionary<string, string>();

Write now what I have written code was like below:

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(results))                                            
{                                                
    string[] array = results.Split(',');
    string title = array[0];
    string firstname = array[1];
    string lastname = array[2];
    string age = array[3];
    string designation = array[4];    
    string country = array[4];    

    //Here I want to write the new code which will add the results.Split(',') values in my Session variable as a Dictionary type.                                       

    foreach (string key in results.Split(','))
    {
    skywardsDetails.Add(key,//What to do here)
    }
}

Please suggest

Your CSV results variable doesn’t represent a dictionary. It represents an Employee model:

public class Employee
{
    public string Title { get; set; }
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
    public int Age { get; set; }
    public string Designation { get; set; }
    public string Country { get; set; }
}

and then:

var tokens = (results ?? string.Empty).Split(',');
if (tokens.Length > 5)
{
    var employee = new Employee
    {
        Title = tokens[0],
        FirstName = tokens[1],
        LastName = tokens[2],
        Age = int.Parse(tokens[3]),
        Designation = tokens[4],
        Country = tokens[5]
    };
    // TODO: do something with this employee like adding it
    // to some dictionary, session, whatever
}
