How to: Mixed-type, multidimensional array?

[cassb]

Sorry to ask a basic programming question, but C# is not my native language.

I want an array that looks like this:

Array[1,534.2]="Some string value". So I have Array[number,number]=string.

How do you do this in C#?

I tried this:

private double[,] = new Array[6,6];

But it seems that the array cannot have a string as a value.

Please try
private string[,] myArray = new string[6,6];

[cassb]

Please try
private string[,] = new string[6,6];

Tried that:

Array = new string[6,6];
Array[0,534.2]="Test";

Compiling this causes this:
Cannot implicitly convert type 'double' to 'int'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

My apologies, edited post below.

Also array indexes needed to be int not double.

Note: these are basic C# programming question. Unfortunately we can't provide support level down to that level.

It wants integers for the array subscripts. I can't use a double value for a subscript. Maybe I need an array within an array? I don't understand why this concept is so complex in C#.

Think of what I'm trying to do as:

Array[Bar Number,Price] = "Text"

Just a note in case someone is looking at this thread in the future -- I decided to just convert the price to an integer and convert it back to double when needed. To convert to integer, where pricedecimals is the number of decimals in TickSize:

x = Convert.ToInt16(price*(10^pricedecimals))
Array[0,x]="text"

To reconvert back to price:

price = Convert.ToDouble(x/(10^pricedecimals))
