Hi all
Who can Help me with this one?
if I have this Enums:
#region Title
public enum Title: short
{
NA = 0,
Mr = 2,
Adv = 3,
Brig = 4,
Dr = 5,
Genl = 6,
Prof = 7,
Miss = 8,
Mrs = 9,
Adm = 10,
Rev = 11,
Ms = 12,
}
Now I want to take the textbox.text and loop through the enums(Not the
value) to check if it exist in my enums
Something like this:
Public bool DoesTitle Exist
{
blnValid = false
For each enum
{
if (textbox.text == enum.name(Examp le: "MR"))
return true
break
}
return blnValid ;
}
}
Thanks a mill for those who can help 7 4730
Well, to do what you want I would actually use Enum.Parse:
Enum.Parse(type of(Title),theTe xt)
However, to enumerate, just use
Enum.GetNames(t ypeof(Title))
or
Enum.GetValues( typeof(Title))
Marc
Follow up: it also looks like Enum.IsDefined( typeof(Title), theString) might
do what you want.
Annoyingly, .Net 2 doesn't (as far as I know) provide a type-safe Enum
helper; but if you use enums a lot you might find the following saves a few
casts and "typeof"s; not a massive saving, but can be handy; e.g.
MyEnum[] values = Enum<MyEnum>.Ge tValues();
or
MyEnum value;
Enum<MyEnum>.Tr yParse("SomeTex t", out value);
or
bool defined = Enum<MyEnum>.Is Defined(theStri ng);
etc
Marc
public static class Enum<T> {
public static bool TryParse(string name, out T value) {
return TryParse(name, out value, false);
}
public static bool TryParse(string name, out T value, bool
ignoreCase) {
try {
value = (T) Enum.Parse(type of(T), name, ignoreCase);
return true;
} catch { // one of the rare cases where this is broadly
acceptable; could test IsDefined first perhaps?
value = default(T);
return false;
}
}
public static T Parse(string name) {
return Parse(name, false);
}
public static T Parse(string name, bool ignoreCase) {
return (T)Enum.Parse(t ypeof(T), name, ignoreCase);
}
public static string[] GetNames() {
return Enum.GetNames(t ypeof(T));
}
public static T[] GetValues() {
return (T[])Enum.GetValues (typeof(T));
}
public static string Format(T value, string format) {
return Enum.Format(typ eof(T), value, format);
}
public static bool IsDefined(objec t value) {
return Enum.IsDefined( typeof(T), value);
}
public static Type GetUnderlyingTy pe() {
return Enum.GetUnderly ingType(typeof( T));
}
}

1) See System.Enum.Get Names()
2) A simpler solution with a nicer UI is to populate a combobox with
Enum.GetNames then use Enum.Parse on the selection.
3) I do it all the time but it is neither internationaliz able nor easily
extendable: the title should really be a string rather than an enum because
you will (probably) never write a conditional statement based on the value.
Thank you very much for your input, I eventually figure it out and I
must say Enum.Parse is powerfull and nice to use
I just have a last question:
I want to retrieve the ID of _title I send in if it was found:
Like - int EnumID = (int)_title
How do I do this?
_title = "Mr";
Common.Title _myEnum = (Common.Title)E num.Parse(typeo f(Common.Title) ,
_title, true);
bool pblnIsDefined =
Enum.IsDefined( typeof(Citadel. Horizon.Common. Enums.Common.Ti tle),
_myEnum);
if (pblnIsDefined)
{
contact.Title = currentContact. Title;
contact.PartySt ampDate = DateTime.Now;
IOUtility.Write Contact(contact );
break;
}
else
{
string _validhorizonID 3 =
currentContact. UserProperties["HorizonID"].Value.ToString ();
MessageBox.Show ("There is no such title on system, please type a
valid title for Client:" + _validhorizonID 3 + ".");
}
What do you mean by ID?
The strongly-typed value (from your bespoke enum), or the index of the
specific enum in the set of enums?
If the former, then you already have it: just cast to Title
If the latter, hmm... I'm not 100% sure that position is guaranteed to be
preserved (vs. the source code), but assuming you have used Enum.GetValues
to list them you could presumably loop through them again without issues;
the following extension to Enum<T> would do the job:
public static int GetIndex(T value) {
int index = 0;
foreach (T item in GetValues()) {
if (Enum.Equals(it em,value))
return index;
index++;
}
throw new ArgumentOutOfRa ngeException();
}
If you are talking about something else (position in a specific drop-down or
similar) then you'd need to use methods appropriate to your implementation.

I cant go reallly with Nicks suggestion, cause I am using Outlook's
events.
For instance, our system has a set of titles.Our project creates
contacts in outlook.So now when you change the contact's title in
outlook, it updates our system(DB) if the title in outlook exists in
our set titles in our system.
But I figure all out, but of course I couldnt do it without your
help.Thanks alot This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

built for a program is built with different compiler settings than the
launcher program, the enum size could change.

Hello CSharpies,
Can Enums in C# be UInt32 Types, and not just Int32 Types. I have a lot of
constant declarations that are UInt32 that I want to put in Enums to ease
the use of Intellisence. I have them in structs for now, I thought I'd ask.
Would IntPtr Enums push the bounds of a stupid question?

Hi,
I'm working on a project that historically contains around 40 enums. In the
database various fields refer to the int values of these enums, but of
course ref integrity is not enofrced and when looking at the db we can't
tell what the value in a field represents. The other problem is that our
enums are currently all stored in a single class, which means that because
of no visibility constraints the enums are often used out of context...
