public enum Panes
{
AccountSetup,
ProgramManagement,
CampaignManagement,
ProgramAccounting,
Partners,
MemberMangement,
SysAdmin
}
Accordion1.SelectedIndex = Panes.AccountSetup;
In the example above, you have to cast Panes.AccountSetup to an int so
Accordion1.SelectedIndex will accept it. I will be using this a lot and
would
like to be able to do this without having to cast it everytime I use it.
Is
there a way to set up a get accessor (a generic or anything) to cast it
for
me? I want to be able to still type it like an enum to keep it readable.
I don't have the AJAX Controls so I can't check so see is Accordion is
sealed. If not the you could inherit Accordion control like:-
class MyAccordian : Accordion
{
// Replicate constructors you need here
public new Panes SelectedIndex
{
get { return base.SelectedIndex; }
set { base.SelectedIndex = (int)value; }
}
}
personally I think thats more trouble than its worth.
Sadly you can't add other other members to an enum, it would be nice to be
able to choose to add a implicit operator int to an enum.
