c# - Create dynamic variable name

Question

Can we create dynamic variable in C#?

I know my below code is threw error and very poor coding. But this code have small logic like create dynamic variable

var name=0;
for(i=0;i<10;i++)// 10 means grid length
{
    name+i=i;
}

var xx1=name1;
var xx2=name2;
var xx3=name3;

Is it possible in c#? Create dynamic variable in c#? and change the variable name in c#? and concatenate the variable name in c#(like we can concatenate any control id or name)...

Why I need the dynamic variable name (scenario):

var variablename=""
var variablename0=No;
var variablename1=Yes;
var variablename2=No;

. . .

I have a gridview with multiple rows. And I need assign server side variable to every row. So I need set of variables in server side. the only I can set Text=<%# variablename+rowCount%> for every template field.

This rowCount means every grid row index.

If the grid has 2 rows, Then rowCount values are 0,1,2

Now I need to change the variablename to variablename0,variablename1,variablename2 dynamically for separate row.

C# is strongly typed so you can't create variables dynamically. You could use an array but a better C# way would be to use a Dictionary as follows. More on C# dictionaries here.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace QuickTest
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Dictionary<string, int> names = new Dictionary<string,int>();


            for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
            {
                names.Add(String.Format("name{0}", i.ToString()), i);
            }

            var xx1 = names["name1"];
            var xx2 = names["name2"];
            var xx3 = names["name3"];
        }
    }
}
