Possible Duplicate:
Dictionary With Value “Variable”

I have some highly coupled code that I am trying to decouple. If I could make a Dictionary like this:

Dictionary<string, var> dict = new Dictionary<string, var>

a lot of coupling could be fixed. One poster in another thread seems to have found a solution using a Variable class but he/she didn’t post any details of this class and I can’t think of how to do it.

EDIT:

Basically, instead of:

string transit = <string value>;

I would like to be able to write:

string dict["Transit"] = <string value>;

Where I have already done:

Dictionary<string, var> dict = new Dictionary<string, var>()
{
    {"Transit", transit}
};

This probably isn’t possible but any advice is appreciated.

Regards.

Answer 1

This would do the trick:

public class Variable
{
    public object Value { get; set; }
}

Then he could do what he is asking, namely:

Dictionary<string, Variable> dict = new Dictionary<string, Variable>()
{
    {"Transit", new Variable()}
}

dict["Transit"].Value = "transit"
