Enumerating the Enums
While writing the code today I needed to enumerate all the values of an enum. I am sure many of you know about this, but I did not and hence here it is.
Suppose you have enum defined as follows and you want to enumerate all the possible values of Fruit.
enum Fruit
{
Cherry,
Apple,
Orange,
Banana
}
Use the Enum.GetValues(Type T) method to achieve this. Here is the complete program:
using System;
public class EnumerateEnum
{
enum Fruit
{
Cherry,
Apple,
Orange,
Banana
}
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
foreach(Fruit f in Enum.GetValues(typeof(Fruit)))
{
Console.WriteLine(f);
}
}
}
