Dynamic References to Dictionaries

Question

Hi I was having trouble finding a method to split one of my application that require extensive mapping between an input value and corresponding target. I was using dictionary for this purpose. My dictionaries are getting really big that it might have nearly 200+ values. The dictionary mapping is the core to the application and each entry take time to be framed. I was thinking to split it up into various pieces like : Dictionary_1 Dictionary_2 Dictionary_3 and so on... and categorize the mapping data per requirement. But the module to read from this dictionaries can be just one due to some constraints. Is there a way to read the values by passing the Keys to the corresponding dictionaries in a loop ? like : for( i= 1 ; i { var data = (Dictionary(dictionary_+i))[keyvalue]; } Please advice if you have better thoughts.

Well you could create a List of Dictionaries which could then be accessed by index. You could even create a Dictionary of Dictionaries where the key is a string such as Dictionary_1 Dictionary_2 etc. and the value is the corresponding Dictionary object itself.
