Re: What type of object for this?

Brett,

I would use a class, and then have static fields as you do.

Additionally, I would have a type constructor which would initialize a
read-only dictionary which you expose, which would use reflection and cycle
through the fields exposed on the type. It would populate with name/values,
if you need that.

Either that, or I would pass the type around.

Hope this helps.

I need an object similar to a struct that allows me to write something
like this:

public struct TheFields
{
public static string Hand = "Hand";
public static string PersonID = "PersonID";
}

and reference the fields by name such as TheFields.Hand and get the
value "Hand". The above does all of this. However, I need the
ability to loop blindly through these fields (strings) and get their
values. This construct also needs to be passed in as a parameter to
an object, which will then loop through and get the string values.

I don't think an arraylist will work because I can say myarray.Hand.
I'd have to know what the index of hand is and even then, intellisense
will not do myarray[2].Hand. I need the intellisense to popout all of
the fields within this construct so I can go to the one I want.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Brett
