base type for an array of Enum values

I'm trying to create a procedure overload that accepts an array of Enum
values, of any enum type. Take this example:

Overloads Sub DoSomething(ByV al value as Object)
Overloads Sub DoSomething(ByV al value() as System.Enum) ' I know this
doesn't work, but...

In the case of a single object I want to extract its value, and in the case
of an array of enums (any type of Enum) I want to create a joined string
containing all of their numerical values.

Is there a way to differentiate these situations using procedure overloading
as above, or do I need to write code to examine the types more closely
within the first DoSomething overload?

Any ideas are appreciated.

Regards,

Jon

The MSDN help on the enum keyword for the C# language indicates that it is possible to give an enumeration a base-type other than int. In my case, I have chosen to give it a base type of uint. The annoying thing I have encountered, is that when I switch on a uint value, I still have to explicitly cast my enum values to uint - even though they should be uint values. Is this by design (I don't know why because my enum is uint and so is...

After reading that enum column is very efficient, I'm determined to use it where I can. Does anyone have WebApp experiences, that make life easier. I can see applications for US states, phone types, order types, etc. but for example in a contact manager business phone types may differ than personal phone types ie: work

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
