Tuple: Örnek Kullanım

Tuples are commonly used in four 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. 
To return multiple values from a method without using out parameters (in C#) or ByRef parameters (in Visual Basic).
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 time. If you supply a Tuple<T1, T2, T3> object as the method argument, you can supply the thread’s startup routine with three items of data.


The Tuple class does not itself represent a tuple. Instead, it is a factory class that provides static methods for creating instances of the tuple types that are supported by the .NET Framework. It provides helper methods that you can call to instantiate tuple objects without having to explicitly specify the type of each tuple component.

var population = new Tuple<string, int, int, int, int, int, int>(
                           "New York", 7891957, 7781984, 
                           7894862, 7071639, 7322564, 8008278);

var population = Tuple.Create("New York", 7891957, 7781984, 7894862, 7071639, 7322564, 8008278);
