Question

I need to store data in a grid like this:

{0,1,2,3}
{4,5,6,7}
{8,9,10,11}
{12,13,14,15}

I know I can use multi dimensional arrays, but Is there any easier way to do it? Also I need to get values from it like myData.Item(0,1) would return 1.

You can have a list of tuples if you are using .NET 4.0.

In this case, Tuple(Of T1, T2, T3, T4):

Dim matrix() =  
           { Tuple.Create(0,1,2,3),
             Tuple.Create(4,5,6,7),
             Tuple.Create(8,9,10,11),
             Tuple.Create(12,13,14,15)}
