title: Pandas Dataframe or similar in C#.NET
body: <p>I am currently working on implement the C# version of a Gurobi linear program model that was earlier built in Python. I have a number of CSV files from which I was importing the data and creating pandas dataframes, and I was fetching columns from those dataframes to create variables that I was using in my Linear Program. The python code for creating the variables using dataframes is as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>dataPath = "C:/Users/XYZ/Desktop/LinearProgramming/TestData"
  routeData = pd.DataFrame.from_csv(os.path.join(dataPath, "DirectLink.csv"), index_col=None)
  #Creating 3 Python-dictionaries from Python Multi-Dict using column names and keeping RouteID as the key
  routeID, transportCost, routeType = multidict({x[0]:[x[1],x[2]] for x in routeData[['RouteID', 'TransportCost','RouteType']].values}) 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Example: If the csv structure is as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>RouteID  RouteEfficiency  TransportCost  RouteType
    1           0.8              2.00          F
    2           0.9              5.00          D
    3           0.7              6.00          R
    4           0.6              3.00          T     
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The 3 variables should be:
  RouteID: 1 2 3 4</p>
  
  <p>TransportCost:</p>
  
  <pre><code>1:2.00
  2:5.00
  3:6.00
  4:3.00
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>RouteType:</p>
  
  <pre><code>1:F
  2:D
  3:R
  4:T
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now, I want to create a C# version of the above code that does the same task, but I learnt that C# doesn't support dataframes. I tried looking for a few alternatives, but am unable to find anything. Please help me with this.</p>
