Apart from custom class or .Net 4.0 Tuples, since C# 7.0 there is a new feature called ValueTuple, which is a struct that can be used in this case. Instead of writing:

Tuple t = new Tuple("Hello", 4);

and access values through t.Item1 and t.Item2, you can simply do it like that:

(string message, int count) = ("Hello", 4);

or even:

(var message, var count) = ("Hello", 4);
