Question

I have the following code:

// Obtain the string names of all the elements within myEnum  String[] names = Enum.GetNames( typeof( myEnum ) );  // Obtain the values of all the elements within myEnum  Array values = Enum.GetValues( typeof( myEnum ) );  // Print the names and values to file for ( int i = 0; i < names.Length; i++ ) {     print( names[i], values[i] );  } 

However, I cannot index values. Is there an easier way to do this?

Or have I missed something entirely!

Answer 1

Array values = Enum.GetValues(typeof(myEnum));  foreach( MyEnum val in values ) {    Console.WriteLine (String.Format('{0}: {1}', Enum.GetName(typeof(MyEnum), val), val)); } 

Or, you can cast the System.Array that is returned:

string[] names = Enum.GetNames(typeof(MyEnum)); MyEnum[] values = (MyEnum[])Enum.GetValues(typeof(MyEnum));  for( int i = 0; i < names.Length; i++ ) {     print(names[i], values[i]); } 

But, can you be sure that GetValues returns the values in the same order as GetNames returns the names ?
