This is known as a Zip operation and will be supported in .NET 4.
With that, you would be able to write something like:
var numbers = new [] { 1, 2, 3, 4 };
var words = new [] { "one", "two", "three", "four" };
var numbersAndWords = numbers.Zip(words, (n, w) => new { Number = n, Word = w });
foreach(var nw in numbersAndWords)
{
Console.WriteLine(nw.Number + nw.Word);
}
As an alternative to the anonymous type with the named fields, you can also save on braces by using a Tuple and its static Tuple.Create helper:
foreach (var nw in numbers.Zip(words, Tuple.Create))
{
Console.WriteLine(nw.Item1 + nw.Item2);
}
