Hashtable or Array?

[Guest]

Hi,

I want to store values of two columns from a DataReader because I will need
to compare these values several times in the code.

My idea is to iterate throuh the data and compare the values with items in a
dropdown list.

What would be a good way to store and retrieve two columns and multiple rows
of data? (efficiency is desired here)

Thanks.

Presumably the two columns of data are a key column and a value column?

If so, a Hashtable would be perfect for this:

Not as yet but 2.0 is apparently close to release.
