从方法返回两个值的最佳方法是什么？

Question

当我必须编写返回两个值的方法时,我通常会按照以下代码返回一个List<string>.或者,如果我必须返回例如id和字符串,那么我返回a List<object>然后用索引号选择它们并重新设置值.

这种通过索引进行重铸和引用似乎不够优雅,所以我想为返回两个值的方法开发一种新的习惯.这个的最佳模式是什么？

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;

namespace MultipleReturns
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string extension = "txt";

            {
                List<string> entries = GetIdCodeAndFileName("first.txt", extension);
                Console.WriteLine("{0}, {1}", entries[0], entries[1]);
            }

            {
                List<string> entries = GetIdCodeAndFileName("first", extension);
                Console.WriteLine("{0}, {1}", entries[0], entries[1]);
            }

            Console.ReadLine();
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// gets "first.txt", "txt" and returns "first", "first.txt"
        /// gets "first", "txt" and returns "first", "first.txt"
        /// it is assumed that extensions will always match
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="line"></param>
        public static List<string> GetIdCodeAndFileName(string line, string extension)
        {
            if (line.Contains("."))
            {
                List<string> parts = line.BreakIntoParts(".");
                List<string> returnItems = new List<string>();
                returnItems.Add(parts[0]);
                returnItems.Add(line);
                return returnItems;
            }
            else
            {
                List<string> returnItems = new List<string>();
                returnItems.Add(line);
                returnItems.Add(line + "." + extension);
                return returnItems;
            }
        }

    }

    public static class StringHelpers
    {
        public static List<string> BreakIntoParts(this string line, string separator)
        {
            if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(line))
                return null;
            else
            {
                return line.Split(new string[] { separator }, StringSplitOptions.None).Select(p => p.Trim()).ToList();
            }
        }
    }
}

好的,谢谢大家,我喜欢" 返回一个自定义类 "的答案最好,从来没有真正想过out那么容易阅读,看起来像是一个黑客对我一路返回第一个变量而另一个另一个,这里是我的重构返回一个自定义课程:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;

namespace MultipleReturns
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string extension = "txt";

            {
                IdCodeFileNamePair pair = GetIdCodeAndFileName("first.txt", extension);
                Console.WriteLine("{0}, {1}", pair.IdCode, pair.FileName);
            }

            {
                IdCodeFileNamePair pair = GetIdCodeAndFileName("first", extension);
                Console.WriteLine("{0}, {1}", pair.IdCode, pair.FileName);
            }

            Console.ReadLine();
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// gets "first.txt", "txt" and returns "first", "first.txt"
        /// gets "first", "txt" and returns "first", "first.txt"
        /// it is assumed that extensions will always match
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="line"></param>
        public static IdCodeFileNamePair GetIdCodeAndFileName(string line, string extension)
        {
            if (line.Contains("."))
            {
                List<string> parts = line.BreakIntoParts(".");
                List<string> returnItems = new List<string>();
                return new IdCodeFileNamePair { IdCode = parts[0], FileName = line };
            }
            else
            {
                List<string> returnItems = new List<string>();
                return new IdCodeFileNamePair { IdCode = line, FileName = line + "." + extension };
            }
        }

    }

    public static class StringHelpers
    {
        public static List<string> BreakIntoParts(this string line, string separator)
        {
            if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(line))
                return null;
            else
            {
                return line.Split(new string[] { separator }, StringSplitOptions.None).Select(p => p.Trim()).ToList();
            }
        }
    }

    public class IdCodeFileNamePair
    {
        public string IdCode { get; set; }
        public string FileName { get; set; }
    }
}

Answer 1

我更喜欢创建一个具有两个属性的轻量级类(见下文),或者使用一个元组(现在可以在.NET 4中加入框架但不难编写自己的元组)

class MyReturnValue
{
    public string Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

Answer 2

你可以返回一个元组,从4.0开始.
