I want to be able to pass different enums into a method which makes use of the enum in some way.
I've put together a simplified example below. How do I correctly pass an enum (eg Test1 or Test2 as
shown in CallingMethod) to the UseEnum method?
enum Test1 {Err, Start, Block, Hold}
enum Test2 {Err, Book, Plug}
void UseEnum(Enum myEnum){
string[] enumStr = Enum.GetNames(t ypeof(myEnum));
}
void CallingMethod() {
UseEnum(Test1);
UseEnum(Test2);
} 5 10087
Hi,
I think you need to pass the enum as an object?
enum Test1 {Err, Start, Block, Hold}
enum Test2 {Err, Book, Plug}
void UseEnum(Object myEnum){
string[] enumStr = Enum.GetNames(t ypeof(myEnum));
}void CallingMethod() {
UseEnum(Test1);
UseEnum(Test2);
but i'm not sure. You should be able to use reflection on the object.
HTH,
James.

You cannot pass a Type (Test1) as parameter of a method like this. You
can, however, pass it like this:
void UseEnum( Type myEnumType )
{
string[] enumStr = Enum.GetNames( myEnumType );
}
and then
UseEnum1( typeof( E1 ) );

Jay,
Looking at your code you want to pass a Type object for the enums. In this
case you can use *typeof* c# operator the get Type object from a class name
UseEnum(typeof( Text1);
UseEnum(typeof( Text2);

Quite precisely what I said, except that you missed the closing
parenthesis ;-)
UseEnum(typeof( Text1));
UseEnum(typeof( Text2));

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I've updated the code and that part now compiles error-free.

Hi
Could someone clarify for me the method parameter passing
concept?
As I understand it, if you pass a variable without
the "ref" syntax then it gets passed as a copy.
If you pass a variable with the "ref" syntax then it gets
passed as a reference to the object and any changes to

I currently have a large number of enums implemented into my Web
Service. I am reworking the XML serialization of these enums.
At present, each enum has hardcoded values, for example:
xAttrs = New XmlAttributes
xEnum = New XmlEnumAttribute
xEnum.Name = "0"
xAttrs.XmlEnum = xEnum

In C# I can set up an Enum so that number are represented as keywords, which is very useful.
Is there such a datatype in a database?
I suppose I could use an extra table, with the ID column as the number, and a corresponding column
with strings representing the keywords. This sounds a bit inefficient - is there a better way?

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