Example 1, Indexer by int:

// cs_keyword_indexers.cs
using System;
class IndexerClass 
{
   private int [] myArray = new int[100]; 
   public int this [int index]   // Indexer declaration
   {
      get 
      {
         // Check the index limits.
         if (index < 0 || index >= 100)
            return 0;
         else
            return myArray[index];
      }
      set 
      {
         if (!(index < 0 || index >= 100))
            myArray[index] = value;
      }
   }
}

public class MainClass 
{
   public static void Main() 
   {
      IndexerClass b = new IndexerClass();
      // Call the indexer to initialize the elements #3 and #5.
      b[3] = 256;
      b[5] = 1024;
      for (int i=0; i<=10; i++) 
      {
         Console.WriteLine("Element #{0} = {1}", i, b[i]);
      }
   }
}


output:
Element #0 = 0
Element #1 = 0
Element #2 = 0
Element #3 = 256
Element #4 = 0
Element #5 = 1024
Element #6 = 0
Element #7 = 0
Element #8 = 0
Element #9 = 0
Element #10 = 0

Example 2, Indexer by string:

// Using a string as an indexer value
class DayCollection
{
    string[] days = { "Sun", "Mon", "Tues", "Wed", "Thurs", "Fri", "Sat" };

    // This method finds the day or returns -1
    private int GetDay(string testDay)
    {
        int i = 0;
        foreach (string day in days)
        {
            if (day == testDay)
            {
                return i;
            }
            i++;
        }
        return -1;
    }

    // The get accessor returns an integer for a given string
    public int this[string day]
    {
        get
        {
            return (GetDay(day));
        }
    }
}

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        DayCollection week = new DayCollection();
        System.Console.WriteLine(week["Fri"]);
        System.Console.WriteLine(week["Made-up Day"]);
    }
}

output:
