you could inherit the array class and write your own indexers if you wanted. e.g. public this return type [string x] { get { } set { } } an idea??

If you want to address the element by a String value then don't use an array, use a Hashtable. Example: Hashtable myTable = new Hashtable(); myTable.Add("a", true) myTable.Add("b", false) myTable.Add("c", true) So on and so forth.... Then access them by there key (a, b, c.....) if ((bool)myTable["a"]) { //some code... } The Hastable allows you to store object and reference them by their key value, which is also an object.
