Is it possible to create the one described in the title? In PHP, everything is fine with arrays, and in VS2017 it is somehow sad, at least using standard methods.

    In puff everything is bad in arrays, they are not there. Instead, some kind of combine, similar to MAP. - D-side
  • All "beautiful" implementations of an arbitrary index use hash tables , so do not forget about the issue price - Yuri Negometyanov
  • @ D-side Awesome amenities, really. But then it turns out how long the “optimal” algorithm works ... - Yuri Negometyanov
  • @YuriNegometyanov is fine, if it is convenient, but we must understand that this is not an array. Just yesterday, a person suggested (in another language) adding an element by string index to an array and was very surprised to learn that this could not be done. - D-side
  • @ D-side I'm talking about the possibility of "beautiful" decisions like this . But they can hardly be called fast, if you think about the actual implementation. - Yuri Negometyanov

VB has the equivalent of this Dictionary:

Dim dict = New Dictionary(Of String, String) dict.Add("value1", "0001") dict.Add("value2", "0010")

Or one line

 Dim variable As New Dictionary(Of String, String) From { {"0001", "value1"}, {"0010", "value2"} }

You can get the values ​​by keys:

 Dim val2 = dict("value2") ' <-- 0010
