const Array[TMyThing] of string;

[Alexander Muylaert]

Hi

In delphi we can create an array of an enum.

type
TMyEnum = (meRed, meGreen, meBlue);

const
cMyArray : array[TMyEnum] of TColor = (clRed, clGreen, clBlue);
This has the huge advantage that the compiler will actually check if enough
elements are inside the array. It is also very easy to get an element.

Color = cMyArray[FEnum];

Is there a way this can be accomplished in C#?

Kind regards

Alexander

You can easily comvert Enum to string or value array. Just use string[]
Enum.GetNames(typeof(MyEnum))
or array Enum.GetValues(typeof(MyEnum))

Hope it helps

No

I need to define an arry of whatever type that contains as much elements as
their are enumerations. The enumeration is also the index in the table.
This check is performed at compile time. Not at runtime. It is very
usefull for statics.

kind regards

I'm not aware of anything like this in C#.

If I wanted to do this, I would write custom get/set functions for the
array that ensure the bounds are valid and part of the enumeration.
