Question

I have an enum class as follows:

namespace Import.DataObjects
{
    internal enum EmploymentStatus
    {
        FullTime,
        Terminated,    
    }
}

As of right now I am calling a method in Main to set this enum. The problem is, when I am done setting the enum and the method that sets it ends, the enum is blank again. How do I retain the values in the enum throughout the app using this method?

Answer 1

Enum-typed variables don’t magically change their values. Here’s an example of how to use them.

class Foo {
    private EmploymentStatus Status;

    void Operation() {
        this.Status = EmploymentStatus.FullTime;
    }
}
