Is there a ubound for enums in VB9?

[Just_a_fan]

Is there an equivalent of ubound for arrays for enum? I guess I could
create one by having a dummy name at the end. Just wondering... Tried
the help but, as many times, it was no help.

Thanks.

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to accomplish, but you might want to
take a look at the various System.Enum static methods and see if one of them
does what you want :)

If en is declared to be of your Enum, then this will return the number of
values for the Enum:

Enum.GetNames(en.GetType()).GetLength(0)

If you want to determine the maximum value (assuming the base type is
'Integer'):

\\\
MsgBox(GetMaximumValue(GetType(Test)))
....
Public Function GetMaximumValue(ByVal EnumType As Type) As Integer
Return Aggregate Value In [Enum].GetValues(EnumType) Into
Max(CInt(Value))
End Function
///
