Question

I need to arrange sort of dictionary where the key would be a pair of enum and int
and value is object. So I want to map a pair to some object.

One option would be

public enum SomeEnum
{
 value1, value2
}

class Key
{
  public SomeEnum;
  public int counter;  

  // Do I have to implement Compare here?
}

Dictionary<SomeEnum, object> _myDictionary;

Another option would convert enum and int to some unique key.

string key = String.Format("{0}/{1}", enumValue, intValue)

That approach requires string parsing, a lot of extra work.

How to make it easily?

Answer 1

I would go with something similar to

public enum SomeEnum
{
 value1, value2
}

public struct Key
{
  public SomeEnum;
  public int counter;  
}

Dictionary<Key, object>

I think that would make it?
