Assigning Default value to Enum Variable

Hi guys,

i was working with Enum and one Question strike, i thought it would be
good idea to ask more experience guys around.

the scenerio is like this :

[System.Componen tModel.DefaultV alue(check.None )]
public enum check
{
No,
None,
yes,
why
}

check ch;
all i want to know is, is it possible to assign default value
(like .net value type has NULL as default value) this way?
and if not this way and u know another way of doing it plz let me
know.

by another way i dont mean like this

check ch=check.None;
i mean it should be like the way i declared on the top.

i would appriciate all your opinon on this.

thanks,

Lucky

Use explicit values to get default(T) behaviour, with the 0 item being
the default.

However, defaults (in [DefaultValue] terms) apply to individual
properties, not type-defs - so you can still specify a default of
"yes", "No" or whatever for each property.

.... or 'Nothing' in VB.

In VB6 the default for passing variables was ByRef. It was faster and used less memory. Why did MS changed that? Are there any advantages using ByVal over ByRef? (other than ByVal impeding you from changing the original variable passed)

I am trying to set the default design proerties in a control I have derived from the Panel Class. I thought I'd found how to do it from the MSDN but the following line doesn't work: Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Design.ControlDesigner I get an error saying that the Type is not defined. I cut and pasted all the imports and line from the MSDN. Would appreciate any help.

I'm curious, if you have an enum say... enum Days { Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun }; I understand the default will be Mon=0, Tue=1, Wed=2, etc. What I'm curious about is if there is a Days attribute in a class, what is the default assuming I don't do anything with it? For example
