Checking an ENUM

[Guest]

Hello all,

Is there a way to loop through a ENUM, like using a foreach loop?

I'd also like to know if you can do a 'Contains' or like method on an ENUM.

Thanks all,

JY

foreach (YourEnum e in Enum.GetValues(typeof(YourEnum)))

Enum.IsDefined()

Take a look at Enum.GetValues(type), or Enum.GetNames(type).

since an enumeration is (usually) integer based. you can also do
Enum.Parse(0), 1, 2, .... to get the values at the respective places
until an exception is thrown.
