Question

How do you get the max value of an enum?

Answer 1

Enum.GetValues() seems to return the values in order, so you can do something like this:

// given this enum: public enum Foo {     Fizz = 3,      Bar = 1,     Bang = 2 }  // this gets Fizz var lastFoo = Enum.GetValues(typeof(Foo)).Cast<Foo>().Last(); 

Edit

For those not willing to read through the comments: You can also do it this way:

var lastFoo = Enum.GetValues(typeof(Foo)).Cast<Foo>().Max(); 

… which will work when some of your enum values are negative.
