Tuples are available since .NET4.0 and support generics:
Tuple<string, int> t = new Tuple<string, int>("Hello", 4);
In previous versions you can use System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair<K, V> or a solution like the following:
public class Pair<T, U> {
public Pair() {
}
public Pair(T first, U second) {
this.First = first;
this.Second = second;
}
public T First { get; set; }
public U Second { get; set; }
};
And use it like this:
Pair<String, int> pair = new Pair<String, int>("test", 2);
Console.WriteLine(pair.First);
Console.WriteLine(pair.Second);
This outputs:
test
2
Or even this chained pairs:
Pair<Pair<String, int>, bool> pair = new Pair<Pair<String, int>, bool>();
pair.First = new Pair<String, int>();
pair.First.First = "test";
pair.First.Second = 12;
pair.Second = true;
Console.WriteLine(pair.First.First);
Console.WriteLine(pair.First.Second);
Console.WriteLine(pair.Second);
That outputs:
test
12
true
