Question

I have these data :

4  pippo pluto paperino
10 marco paolo roberto
2  hello cruel world

and I’d like to store these data into a multi-type matrix myMatrix. (First field is an integer, the rest are strings).

So, if I type myMatrix[1][2] I must get paolo. How can I do it on C#?

Answer 1

The best way is to create a class that represent your data, with 4 fields (integer, string, string, string).

public class MyClass
{
    public int Param1 { get; set; }
    public string Param2 { get; set; }
    public string Param3 { get; set; }
    public string Param4 { get; set; }
}

Then simply use a List<MyClass> to store your data.
To get Paolo you’ll need to use List[1].Param2 (also name your parameters with meaningful names).
