C# Storing string,int,string in an accessable variable

Question

I need to save a class with list of countries in statics for caching.

the data is built with

string shortName //Primary Key - (IL or UK for example)
int         


        

Answer 1

why wont you make your own class?

class Country
{
   public string shortName { get; set; } //Primary Key - (IL or UK for example)
   public int ID { get; set; } //Unique - has no meaning, but needs to be saved
   public string longName { get; set; } //(Israel or United Kingdom for example)
}

then just make another class, that will contain methods you need

class Countries
{
   List countries = new List();

   public void Add(Country c)
   {
      countries.Add(c);
   }

   public List getByShortName();
   public List  getById();
   public List  getAll();
}
