Loop an Enumeration

[shapper]

Hello,

I have an enumeration as follows:

public enum RoleType {
Administrator,
Collaborator,
...
}

How can I loop through each item in the enumeration and use it's
value? I was trying the following:

foreach (RoleType role in RoleType) {
Roles.CreateRole(role.ToString());
}

This is not working.

Thanks,
Miguel

I think I solved it:

foreach (string role in Enum.GetNames(typeof(RoleType))) {
Roles.CreateRole(role);
}

Not sure if it is the best way but ...

I think I solved it:

* * * foreach (string role in Enum.GetNames(typeof(RoleType))) {
* * * * Roles.CreateRole(role);

That gets names - to get values, call Enum.GetValues(...)

like in

foreach (RoleType type in Enum.GetValues(typeof(RoleType)))
{
// your code
}
