Dynamic variable in C#?

Question

Is it possible to use a dynamic variable (not sure about naming) in C#?

In PHP, I can do

$var_1 = \"2\";
$var_2 = \"this is variable 2\";

$test = ${

No, basically. The compiler doesn't guarantee that method variables will exist (in their form as written), or with names...

If they were fields (instance or static), then you could use reflection to get the values; but not method variables. For what you want, perhaps use a dictionary as a substitute?

var vars = new Dictionary();
vars["var_1"] = "2";
vars["var_2"] = "this is variable 2";

Console.WriteLine(vars["var_" + vars["var_1"]]);
