Remarks

A tuple is a data structure that has a specific number and sequence of values. The Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5> class represents a 5-tuple, or quintuple, which is a tuple that has five components.

You can instantiate a Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5> object by calling either the Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5> constructor or the static Tuple.Create<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5>(T1, T2, T3, T4, T5) method. You can retrieve the value of the tuple's components by using the read-only Item1, Item2, Item3, Item4, and Item5 instance properties.

Tuples are commonly used in four different ways:

  • To represent a single set of data. For example, a tuple can represent a database record, and its components can represent individual fields of the record.

  • To provide easy access to, and manipulation of, a data set. The following example defines an array of Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5> objects that contain the names of running backs in American football, the number of games in which they played, and the number of carries, total yards gained, and touchdowns scored during those games. The array is passed to the ComputeStatistics method, which calculates each running back's number of carries per game, average yards per game, average yards per carry, and average number of touchdowns per attempt.

  • To return multiple values from a method without the use of out parameters (in C#) or ByRef parameters (in Visual Basic). For example, the previous example returns its computed statistics, along with the name of the player, in an array of Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5> objects.

  • To pass multiple values to a method through a single parameter. For example, the Thread.Start(Object) method has a single parameter that lets you supply one value to the method that the thread executes at startup. If you supply a Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5> object as the method argument, you can supply the thread's startup routine with five items of data.

Constructors

Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5>(T1, T2, T3, T4, T5)

Initializes a new instance of the Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5> class.

Properties

Item1

Gets the value of the current Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5> object's first component.

Item2

Gets the value of the current Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5> object's second component.

Item3

Gets the value of the current Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5> object's third component.

Item4

Gets the value of the current Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5> object's fourth component.

Item5

Gets the value of the current Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5> object's fifth component.

Methods

Equals(Object)

Returns a value that indicates whether the current Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5> object is equal to a specified object.

GetHashCode()

Returns the hash code for the current Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5> object.

GetType()

Gets the Type of the current instance.

(Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

(Inherited from Object)
ToString()

Returns a string that represents the value of this Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5> instance.

Explicit Interface Implementations

IComparable.CompareTo(Object)

Compares the current Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5> object to a specified object and returns an integer that indicates whether the current object is before, after, or in the same position as the specified object in the sort order.

IStructuralComparable.CompareTo(Object, IComparer)

Compares the current Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5> object to a specified object by using a specified comparer and returns an integer that indicates whether the current object is before, after, or in the same position as the specified object in the sort order.

IStructuralEquatable.Equals(Object, IEqualityComparer)

Returns a value that indicates whether the current Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5> object is equal to a specified object based on a specified comparison method.

IStructuralEquatable.GetHashCode(IEqualityComparer)

Calculates the hash code for the current Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5> object by using a specified computation method.

ITuple.Item[Int32]

Gets the value of the specified Tuple element.

ITuple.Length

Gets the number of elements in the Tuple.

Extension Methods

Deconstruct<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5>(Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5>, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5)

Deconstructs a tuple with 5 elements into separate variables.

ToValueTuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5>(Tuple<T1,T2,T3,T4,T5>)

Converts an instance of the Tuple class to an instance of the ValueTuple structure.
