recurse through members of an enum

[Laszlo Szijarto]

What's the best way to recurse through the members of an enum?

I want to take an enum and dump into a ListBox the enum's names.

Thank you,
Laszlo

Console.WriteLine("The values of the Colors Enum are:");
foreach(string s in Enum.GetNames(typeof(Colors)))
Console.WriteLine(s);

I don't think this is possible since an enum is a type. You can iterate thru
collections which implement ienumerable, but an enum is not a collection.

You can do this type of operation with Reflection... see previous post
replies for some specific code that demonstrates it.
