creating multiple instances of an enumerator

[=?Utf-8?B?YjF1Y2VyZWU=?=]

hi,
i need help building multiple instances of an enumerator and naming each one
filter1, filter2, filterN depending on how many the user requires, here is
the code i have so far

public enum FilterType
{
None,
ADX
MOM
}
public class System()
{
private int noOfFilters = 0;

[Category("Filte rs")]
public int NoOfFilters
{
get { return noOfFilters;}
set { noOfFilters = value;}
}

public void makeFilters(int i)
{
i = noOfFilters;
for (int j, j < i-1, j++)
{
int k = j+1;
private FilterType */do not know to name the instance filter1,
filter2 etc*/ = FilterType.None ;
}

I'm afraid we're going to need more information - it's not really
clear what you need to do, or what the problem is.

Also, are you using C# 2? If so, enumerators are much easier to
implement using iterator blocks.

basically just looking at the makefilters() method in each iteration i want
to be able to create a new instance of the enum "FilterType " and name it
filter1 for the first one and filter2 for the next and so on depending on the
value of noOfFilters which is user defined
i.e
public void makeFilters()
{

for ( int j=1; j < noOfFilters +1; j++ )
{
//create a new instance of the enumerator FilterType and name it
"filter plus the value of int j" eg filter2 or filter3 depending on where
we are in the iteration
}
also while on this subject is is possible to create a property for each
instance of FilterType that the method has created at the same time

Hang on - you need to be very clear whether you're talking about an
*enumerator* (as per the subject) or an *enumeration* (i.e. an enum).
They're completely different things.

You then need to understand what enums are - they're not things you
create instances of, they're just fixed sets of values. You don't
create new enumerations on the fly - an enumeration is a type in
itself.

Sorry using the wrong wording completely. I do understand where i was
becoming confusing i meant that i want to declare variables as follows based
on the enumeration:

public enum FilterType
{
}

FilterType filter1 = FilterType.None
FilterType filter2 = FilterType.None
.....
FilterType filtern = FilterType.None

where n = noOfFilters

Try this:

FilterType[] filters = new FilterType[n];
//Given your declaration of FiterType, the elements will allready be
FilterType.None

for (int i =0; i<n; i++)
{
fiters[i] = ....
}
