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

I think you need to create your own class incapsulating all three fields and to use own Collection of It. For example:

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

class CountryCollection : Collection 
{
 //Implement methods what you need
 void getByShortName();// I dont know what to return, I'd love
 void getById();// I might need that
 void getAll();// I dont know what to return, I'd l
}

If you like quick search then to use a pair of dictionaries:

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

    class CountryCollection
    {
      Dictionary  Ids = new Dictionary  ();
      Dictionary  shortNames = new Dictionary  ();

     void Add (CountryInfo info)
{
  Ids.Add (info.ID, info.longName);
  shortnames.Add(info.ID, info.longName);
}
     //Implement methods what you need
     void getByShortName();// I dont know what to return, I'd love
     void getById();// I might need that
     void getAll();// I dont know what to return, I'd l
    }
