Question

I have a dictionary as follows:

Dictionary<string, dataValues> dataDict = new Dictionary<string, dataValues>();

public struct dataValues
    {
        public string Value1;
        public string Value2;
        public string Value3;
        public string Value4;
        public string Value5;
        public string Value6;
        public string Value7;
        public string Value8;
        public string Value9;
        public string Value10;
        public string Value11;
        public string Value12;
        public string Value13;
        public string Value14;
        public string Value15;
        public string Value16;
        public string Value17;
        public string Value18;
        public string Value19;
        public string Value20;
    }

I would like to be able to iterate through all of the string within the dataValues struct by specifying a dictionary key – how could this be accomplished?

From my comment: Use a List<String> instead of those string variables.

@Tim Schmelter I can’t do, because I need to assign / call specific
values in a certain order and I can’t do that with a list

Use the indexer of the collection.

Dictionary<string, List<string>> dataDict = new Dictionary<string, List<string>>();
// initialization ...
String val20OfData1 = dataDict["Data1"][19];
