Hello.
I have a quick and "simple" question that will probably boil down to opinion
more than anything else. I need a FieldType property for a class I am
writing. As such an Enum would be the perfect solution for this property. In
C# I can write
Public Enum FieldType
Integer = 0
Float
Double
String
Date
ObjectId
End Enum
And everything works like a charm. I have been requested to rewrite this in
VB.NET. However, VB.NET is not case sensitive so that structure does not
work because Interger, Double, String and Date are reserved types regardless
of case. Is there a defined recommended alternative for this? Prefix or
Suffix? What do you think about?
Public Enum FieldType
enumInteger = 0
enumFloat
enumDouble
enumString
enumDate
enumObjectId
End Enum
or
Public Enum FieldType
_Integer = 0
_Float
_Double
_String
_Date
_ObjectId
End Enum

Put the keywords between square brackets to escape them:
\\\
Public Enum FieldType
[Integer] = 0
Float
[Double]
...
End Enum

You can use parenthesis and it will work:
Public Enum FieldType
[Integer] = 0
[Float]
....

I have been working on some project recently that uses lots of enums with

Consider
enum Side {Back,Front,Top,Bottom};
enum Side a;
Now, why is
a = 124;
legal (well it really is an integer, but still,
checking could be performed..) ?
Wouldn't enums be more useful if there was a
bit more typechecking ?

If a class inherits from another class, say Form inherits from control, then
I can assign the Form to a variable of type Control without needing an
explicit conversion, eg
Form1 f = new Form1();
Control c = f;
An enum value inherits from int but it doesn't get implicitly converted:
HorizontalAlignment h = HorizontalAlignment.Center;

Hi,
I'm working on a project that historically contains around 40 enums. In the

enums are currently all stored in a single...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
