Name Parameters dynamically?

Just imagine this simple situation: 

int temperature = 20;

is there any possibility to give a dynamic parameter name?? Like for example (I know that doesn't work, just to get the idea) :

int Array[1].ToString() = 20;

Thank you! Cheers Chris

try this 

using System;

class Program
{
    static void Foo(dynamic duck)
    {
        duck.Quack(); // Called dynamically
    }

    static void Foo(Guid ignored)
    {
    }

    static void Main()
    {
        // Calls Foo(dynamic) statically
        Foo("hello");
    }
}

and follow that link Link1

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but you can play with the dynamic/Expando objects in C# 4

No. Not in C#. The closest you could get would be to use a Dictionary<string, object>:

var variables = new Dictionary<string, object>();

variables.Add(Array[1].ToString(), 20);

But not only does that involve casting each time you need to retrieve the value, but it will also cause boxing/unboxing.

All told, I certainly wouldn't recommend it.
