Question

In C# I know we can’t we assign objects to an Enum. The functionality I’m after is when an Enum is declared, it triggers off an event.

So instead of having

enum MyEnum
{
  string, int, etc
}

I could have

enum MyEnum
{
    classType1, classType2
}

This would then also allow the classes classType1/classType2 constructor to be called which could (for example) be useful for logging for when the enum is declared.

Another way of presenting my issue could be

enum MyEnum
{
   string1
      {
          //logic
      },
   string2
      {
          //logic
      }
}

Is there a work around for this?

Instead of enum you can use a static class with static properties, it can be used same as an enum but you can write code inside getter and setter.
