VB.NET - VS 2005
Is it possible to create an Enum with numeric members. Example:
Public Enum NumberOfDecimal Places
Auto
1
2
3
4
5
End Enum
I want this for a property that I have in one of my controls. The
"Auto" member is fine. The numbers generate errors.

The identifiers in an enum has to be identifiers. The name of an
identifier can not be a number.
I suggest that you use a structure instead, having:
:: a constructor that takes a number from 1 to 5
:: a factory property named Auto that creates a zero value
:: an IsAuto property that determines if the value is zero
:: a Value property that returns the value

Göran,
How about :
Public Enum NumberOfDecimal Places
Auto
One
Two
Three
Four
Five
End Enum

Thanks for the replies. Kerry, I thought about your suggestion but I
would prefer the user to be able to enter "2" or "0", actual numbers
into the property.
I also wondered if a Structure would work, but have not taken the time
to investigate it. I'll look into it further.
Thanks again!

Remember, they won't be entering in "2" or "0" but rather
NumberOfDecimal s.2 or NumberofDecimal s.0
Also, who are your users? Are they fellow programmers who are going to
be using your code or just typical user who are using a full fledged
application? If they are just normal users you could just have "Auto,
1, 2, 3, 4, 5" as entries in a combobox and let the user select it
there - there is no reason why the end-user should see the
enumeration.
Thanks,
Seth Rowe
The "users" are fellow developers. That is why I'm not concerned
about using Auto, 1, 2... I'm just going to go with what I already
used. I made the type be Integer and the Auto value will be -1.

I'm writing a class with a method that will accept 1 of 3 items listed in an

calling statement?
EXAMPLE:

Any opinions or comments on the following? I don't say it below, but I came
out on the side of using enumerations over static constants.
/* I'm trying to figure out the pros and cons of using static const

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 ?

I have a few enums, a shortened example of one is:
enum ParamTest {Err, Start, Block, Hold}
Is there a programmatic way to find the number of "members" (probably the wrong C# term) of the
Enum - this is 4 for the example given.
One not very good way that I currently use is to add a dummy "LENGTH" member on the end:
enum ParamTest {Err, Start, Block, Hold, LENGTH}

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,...
