Test an enum without converting to an array first

[NewIsrael]

Is there a quick way to determine if a value is in an enum? Consider for example,

public enum GenderEnum
{
   Unknown = 0,
   Male = 1,
   Female = 2
}
 
if (gender in GenderEnum) // THIS WILL NOT WORK!
{ blah blah} 

I don't want to convert to an array if possible, just check the enum and get a yes/no answer.

Hey NewIsrael, try this code...

int gender = 2;
 
foreach (GenderEnum ge in Enum.GetValues(typeof(GenderEnum)))
{
    if((int)ge == gender)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Found. Gender -> " + ge);
    }
}
