Answer 1

Use Dictionary>. Then you can do

List list = dict[5];

As in:

Dictionary> dict = new Dictionary>();
dict[0] = ...;
dict[1] = ...;
dict[5] = ...;

List item5 = dict[5]; // This works if dict contains a key 5.
List item6 = null;

// You might want to check whether the key is actually in the dictionary. Otherwise
// you might get an exception
if (dict.ContainsKey(6))
    item6 = dict[6];
