Question

I have a string array:

String[] array1 = new String[10];

Is there anyway I can use keys which are nto numbers?

array["keyhere"] instead of array1[1]

anyone know how?

Answer 1

Use System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<TKey, TValue>.

For example:

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

myDictionary.Add("key", "value");

string foo = myDictionary["key"];

Dictionary<TKey, TValue> has some methods that you might find useful, such as ContainsKey().
