.net - Making a List<string, string, string> in C# with three flexible elements in one datatype -

once have defined list<string, string, string> , wanted again forgot syntax , lost example code did that, surely know possible. added new element list way after have defined it: listxy.add("string1", "string2", string3");. search on internet , here brought not results needed. insist on solution "list", that's why ask question here. found workarounds below not satisfy me, since need simplicity of usual "list" - nothing else.

i not search solution tuples or own classes or static arrays, since have beginner difficulty handling complex structures or classes.

edit: found meanwhile dictionary<string, string> need 3 items in there. can't remember have used, know ready (from ms) contained in framework net 2, had 3 string elements , extend elements .add method on it. string array has static size cannot shrink or enlarge beginner code. , when define variable final count of elements cannot foreseen, that's problem.

if know syntax have forgotten , cannot find again may reply me right answer. search syntax.

"i not need solution saying me make own class. not re-invent existing data-type!" list<string,string,string> not existing data type. did in past;

// simple way create class has constructor hold 3 strings     public class pairedvalues     {         // these simple ways of creating getter , setter in c#         public string value1 { get; set; }         public string value2 { get; set; }         public string value3 { get; set; }          // constructor sets getters , setters         public pairedvalues(string value1, string value2, string value3)         {             value1 = value1;             value2 = value2;             value3 = value3;         }     } 

making use of class;

        // initialize list of new class         list<pairedvalues> pairedvalues = new list<pairedvalues>();         // add object list anonymously          pairedvalues.add(new pairedvalues("string1","string2","string3"));         pairedvalues.add(new pairedvalues("string1", "string2", "string3"));          // accessing values         foreach (pairedvalues pair in pairedvalues)         {             string value1 = pair.value1;             string value2 = pair.value2;             string value3 = pair.value3;         } 

an example using in windows forms;

using system; using system.collections.generic; using system.componentmodel; using system.data; using system.drawing; using system.linq; using system.text; using system.windows.forms;  namespace windowsformsapplication2 {     public partial class form1 : form     {         // simple way create class has constructor hold 3 strings         public class pairedvalues         {             public string value1 { get; set; }             public string value2 { get; set; }             public string value3 { get; set; }              public pairedvalues(string value1, string value2, string value3)             {                 value1 = value1;                 value2 = value2;                 value3 = value3;             }         }          public form1()         {             initializecomponent();              // initialize list of new class             list<pairedvalues> pairedvalues = new list<pairedvalues>();             pairedvalues.add(new pairedvalues("string1", "string2", "string3"));             pairedvalues.add(new pairedvalues("string1", "string2", "string3"));              // accessing values             foreach (pairedvalues pair in pairedvalues)             {                 string value1 = pair.value1;                 string value2 = pair.value2;                 string value3 = pair.value3;             }         }     } }
