Question

I need to get values of my enum, so I am using following command:

Array a = Enum.GetValues(typeof(Typ));

However, typical expression
a[x]
does not work, why?

Thanks

Based on OPs comments, he might not actually be interested in the values of the Enum, but instead of the names. The distinction can easily be confusing to beginners. Tip: When you ask questions involving an error (i.e. “does not work, why?”), then including the error message often helps.

If you are looking for the names in the Enum, try:

string[] names = Enum.GetNames(typeof(Typ));
