C# dictionary with a float value?

Question

I have values that have decimals that I would like to store in a dictionary for easy access. However in C# it only allows a string and an int. Is there another way I can achieve similar results?

This is my code:

   littledictionary.Add("price", (float)0.0);
   littledictionary["price"] = (float)SQLreader["price"];

It will only allow a `string` and an `int` if you've created a `Dictionary`. — Joseph Yaduvanshi, Jul 01 '12 at 22:55
Please post the declaration of the Dictionary. You can use `float` as Key and/or as Value. (use the _edit_ link). — H H, Jul 01 '12 at 22:58

What do you mean? You can use a float-based dictionary:

var littledictionary = new Dictionary<string,float>();
littledictionary.Add("price", (float)0.0);

Or alternatively you can use List:

List<Decimal> list1 = new List<decimal>();

You can see how to use lists here: http://www.dotnetperls.com/list

Hope this helps.
