Where to store constant objects that will be used in my application

Question

Lets say I have an item, which has fields(properties)

1. Location
2. Average value
3. Usability

And I have 10-15 items

Answer 1

I’d use web.config and store this in app settings area and then create one class that will read these retrieve it as a list.

Here is how it could look in web config and C# code.

       
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
 

public class SomeClass
{
private string location;
private double avgValue;
private int usability;

public string Location 
{
    get { return location; }
    set { location = value; }
}
public double AvgValue
{
    get { return avgValue; }
    set { avgValue = value; }
}
public int Usability
{
    get { return usability; }
    set { usability = value; }
}
}

public class Config
{
public static List Items
{
    get
    {
        List result = new List();

        for (int i = 1; i <= Convert.ToInt32(WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["count"]); i++)
        {
            SomeClass sClass = new SomeClass();
            sClass.AvgValue = Convert.ToDouble(WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["avgValue_" + i.ToString()]);
            sClass.Location = WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["location_" + i.ToString()];
            sClass.Usability = Convert.ToInt32(WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["usability_" + i.ToString()]);
        }

        return result;
    }
}

}
