Question

I have the following code:

   public static class ScraperMasterUriDetails
    {
        public static Dictionary<Guid, string> MasterUriDetails;

    }

However I’ve decided that I need to add an integer to the dictionary Dictionary<ScraperMasterUriDetails>, so I thought I’d add properties and a few parameters to the constructor.

But, you can’t do that in C#. How do I implement what I’m trying to implement?

EDIT:

A more experienced member edited my post, so I’ll leave it how it is. I don’t care about using a dictionary (was just the right thing to use at the time)

Essentially I just want a list of three types of data in a structure manner, except I always want to refer to once instance of the class which stores the values, hence static. Now I’ve always done List of(T) like:

public class WebsiteTitles
{
    public string WebsiteId { get; set; }
    public string Keywords { get; set; }

    public WebsiteTitles(string websiteguid, string keywords)
    {
        WebsiteId = websiteguid;
        Keywords = keywords;
    }

    public WebsiteTitles()
    {
    }
}

And then done the following

           List<WebsiteTitles> _siteTitles = new List<WebsiteTitles>();
            _siteTitles.Add(new WebsiteTitles("blah", "keyword")); 

However in this scenario I want like something similar to the above, but static (don’t want to be creating instances etc. I really appreciate all the suggestions, hence why I edited my post to provide more information.

As a note, I’ll probably want to use LINQ to extract some records e.g. get record where guid == guid etc. That’s about all I’ll use it for.
