well, I went for this sort of way... the more close I can come for VFP is this:

object[,] persons = new object(4,2)

persons[0,0] = 25;
persons[0,1] = "John";
persons[1,0] = 30;
persons[1,1] = "Paul";
persons[2,0] = 50;
persons[2,1] = "Mark";
persons[3,0] = 10;
persons[3,1] = "Matt";

Console.Write( persons[1,0] + " " + persons[1,1] )

But we can do this (a little bit different from what Gérald has shown first):

// Instead of assigning the values by columns, I assign by rows)

object[,] persons = {{25,"John"},{30,"Paul"},{50,"Mark"},{10,"Matt"}}

Or, I think this one is a little more cleaner and readable:

object[,] persons = {{25,"John"},
                     {30,"Paul"},
                     {50,"Mark"},
                     {10,"Matt"}}

So, we can access an element just like in VFP. Anyway, if decided to go for the methods to "set" and "get" values, I saw that there´s already native methods for that: SetValue and GetValue (still didn´t study a lot on this...)
