the other option is to add a custom class: class values2 { int number; string temp; public values2( int number, string temp { this.number = number; this.temp = temp; } } then add that value to the hashtable values2 item = new values2(4, "HOTHOTHOT!!!!!"); hash.add("jesus",item); item = (values2)hash["jesus"];

Maybe it's an solution to generate a string like this "500;hot" and store that in the key. You could make some function to extract the needed value. string getValue(object key ,int index) { return hashtable[object].Split(';')[index]; } or something like this :)
