best way to store paired values:

[MarkusJ_NZ]

Hi, I have a list of paired values that are to be retrieved from a database and returned by a function. There will be no set number of pairs returned.

A list of pairs may look like the following;

"http://www.myurl.com" "My homepage"
"http://www.microsofy.com" "Microsofts homepage"

What would be the best way to return this information from a function? I thought of using a 2d array but I would rather just use a collection and a structure so I can reference the collection via a key...

Recomendations welcome
Cheers

Why don't you just dump it into a dataset or a datatable?

Yep, there's another way I want to try and make it as fast as possible..

A hashtable would be good, it is made to store a name/value pair.

Cool, that sounds exactly what I am after
