Enumeration sets

[Nitin Koshy]

Please tell me there is an option for sets of enumeration in c# !?

eg : enum DataKind {dkSimple, dkComplex, dkCool
<DataKindSet> = Set of DataKind //Delphi style thoug

DataKindSet VariableofDataKindSet = new DataKindSet(dkSimple, dkCool)

No ?
Alternatives please

Cheers Chris...looks interesting

I was thinking on using bit fields directly..
enum DataKind {dkSimple = 1, dkComplex = 2, dkCool = 4}

then do bitwise operations to manipulate the set, wherein the set itself could be just integer variables
int aSet = ((int)DataKind .dkSimple | (int)DataKind .dkCool ....et

Yes, that can be done by using the FlagsAttribute:

[Flags]
enum DataKind {dkSimple = 1, dkComplex = 2, dkCool = 4};

int aSet = (int) (DataKind.dkSimple | DataKind.dkComplex);
