Strings are a reasonable data structure for information storage in many contexts.

public List<Order> GetOrders(Customer c, DateTime start, DateTime end)
public List<Order> GetOrders(int customerID, DateTime start, DateTime end) 

public string GetOrders(string xmlData)

public string FormatBarContent(string foo1,
    string foo2, string f003,
    // ...
    string foo14,
