Iterating through a enum

Is this possible?

I have a load of items defined in a enum. I simply want to check if a string
variable if defined in anyone of those enum items. Don't want to have to use
if statement.

Regards
Simon.

Use Enum.IsDefined.

Is it possible to iterate through all of the possible values of an enumeration? (with foreach, maybe?) What I need to do is fill a ComboBox with all possible values for an enumeration. e.g foreach ( in ) { comboBox1.Items.Add (value.ToString ("G"); }

If a class inherits from another class, say Form inherits from control, then I can assign the Form to a variable of type Control without needing an explicit conversion, eg Form1 f = new Form1(); Control c = f; An enum value inherits from int but it doesn't get implicitly converted: HorizontalAlignment h = HorizontalAlignment.Center;

So I was needing some extra power from my enums and implemented the typesafe enum pattern. And it got me to thinking... why should I EVER use standard enums? There's now a nice little code snippet that I wrote today that gives me an instant implementation of the pattern. I could easily just always use such an implementation instead of a standard enum, so I wanted to know what you experts all thought. Is there a case for standard enums?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
