Question

I have an enum which looks like this:

enum myEnum
{
    field1 = 11,
    field2 = 12,
    field3 = 33
};

In my code I need to say that field1 is 1,field2 is 2 and field3 is 3 according to a variable I have. This variable is either 1 or 2 or 3; it’s an int. Can I write that in one line? Something like the following, but shorter…

if(myVar == 1)
    SomeMethod(myEnum.field1)
...

Thanks 🙂

Seems like a switch statement would be better than lots of ifs.

switch (myVar)
{
    case 1:
        // do stuff
        break;
    case 2:
        // do stuff
        break;
    case 3:
        // do stuff
        break;
}
