Iterating through an enumeration?

[Jamie Winder via .NET 247]

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 ([value] in [enumeration])
{
comboBox1.Items.Add (value.ToString ("G");
}

Is this possible? Is so, how?

Thanks in advance.

Jamie,

You can iterate through the enum by looking at its value. I have provided a
sample below.

I hope this helps.

enum Color{Red,Blue,Green,Yellow};
.................
Type colors = typeof(Color);
foreach(string s in Enum.GetNames(colors))
comboBox1.Items.Add(s);
