Need to store an array of two strings - .Bux - Oct 8, 2016
Hey
I'm making my first real tool in C# (which isn't my main language), and at some part I need to store an undefined number of usernames and passwords to get those values later, in another function.
At the moment I found this on google:
PHP Code
<?php
List<KeyValuePair<string, string>> _items = new List<KeyValuePair<string, string>>();
A list of two strings, in which I add "working accounts" in a loop
PHP Code
<?php
_items.Add(new KeyValuePair<string, string>(username, passwords));
It works like a charm, but now that I want to display what's in that list (to check if I filled it earlier), I don't really know how to manipulate this "two dimensional list".
Maybe I picked the hard way, what do you think?
Basically my program works like this:
The user enters a list of usernames/password
Then I check if they're working or not one by one in a loop, and I'd like to store the working accounts in that loop
Final step is to save those working accounts in a txt file

Use a dictionary or use a list of a a custom object that has a username and password property.

What BahNahNah said, a dictionary would be better for this.
But if you insist on doing it this way; to get an item from the list, grab the KeyValuePair at the index you want and then interact with that.

Thanks for your anwser, I'll learn how to use Dictionnaries then

Like BahNahNah said, use a dictionary!
BUT: a dictionary is composed of a key and a value. The key is your identifier in the dictionary, so be sure you don't add 2 keys with the same value.
If you have multiple entries with the same value, its not recommended to it as a disctionary key.
In this case, like BahBahBah said too, create a object like "Account" and a list which contains multiple "Accounts".
This could be a simple class with two string properties, for your example.
Sorry for bad english, hope it helps.

There's no "BUT" here, what he is trying to do with a list is essentially what a Dictionary does best already. It's a list of key-value pairs, the only difference is that a Dictionary will only store one unique key per value and indexing by key will access the value associated with it.

Edit : sry, If you do not mind the items being imutable you can use the Tuple class added to .net 4
ar list = new List<Tuple<string,string>>();
list.Add(new Tuple<string,string>("hello", "world"));
list[0].Item1 //Hello
list[0].Item2 //world
or as previously suggested use a dictionary
Dictionary<string, string> d = new Dictionary<string, string>();
d.Add("string", "string2");
