C# Multiple Indexers

Question

Is it possible to have something like the following:

class C
{
    public Foo Foos[int i]
    {
        ...
    }

    public Bar Bars[int i]
    {
        .         


        

Answer 1

Not in C#, no.

However, you can always return collections from properties, as follows:

public IList Foos
{
    get { return ...; }
}

public IList Bars
{
    get { return ...; }
}

IList has an indexer, so you can write the following:

C whatever = new C();
Foo myFoo = whatever.Foos[13];

On the lines "return ...;" you can return whatever implements IList, but you might what to return a read-only wrapper around your collection, see AsReadOnly() method.
