PHP Style Array Keys #

Question

I have a string array:

String[] array1 = new String[10];

Anyway, can I use keys that are not numbers?

array["keyhere"] instead of array1[1]

Does anyone know how?

Answer 1

Use System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<TKey, TValue>.

For instance:

Dictionary<string, string> myDictionary = new Dictionary<string, string>();

myDictionary.Add("key", "value");

string foo = myDictionary["key"];

Dictionary<TKey, TValue>contains some methods that may be useful to you, for example ContainsKey().

Answer 2

Use dictionary

Dictionary<String,Object> phpArray = new Dictionary<String,Object>();
phpArray.Add("keyhere",1);
MessageBox.Show(phpArray["keyhere"]);

Answer 3

PHP arrays are called associative arrays. You can use a dictionary or HashMap to implement the same in C #.
