What is C# analog of C++ std::pair?

Question

I\'m interested: What is C#\'s analog of std::pair in C++? I found System.Web.UI.Pair class, but I\'d prefer something template-based.

Answer 1

I typically extend the Tuple class into my own generic wrapper as follows:

public class Statistic : Tuple
{
    public Statistic(string name, T value) : base(name, value) { }
    public string Name { get { return this.Item1; } }
    public T Value { get { return this.Item2; } }
}

and use it like so:

public class StatSummary{
      public Statistic NetProfit { get; set; }
      public Statistic NumberOfTrades { get; set; }

      public StatSummary(double totalNetProfit, int numberOfTrades)
      {
          this.TotalNetProfit = new Statistic("Total Net Profit", totalNetProfit);
          this.NumberOfTrades = new Statistic("Number of Trades", numberOfTrades);
      }
}

StatSummary summary = new StatSummary(750.50, 30);
Console.WriteLine("Name: " + summary.NetProfit.Name + "    Value: " + summary.NetProfit.Value);
Console.WriteLine("Name: " + summary.NumberOfTrades.Value + "    Value: " + summary.NumberOfTrades.Value);
