Question

Is there a way to share an enum between Code behind .Net (VB or C#) and javascript so they both use the same values?

can we register an enum into the clientScript..?

Edit:
The question is:
Is there a way to share a variable that act like an enum in .Net and do the same job in javascript. I could declare both in javascript and .Net but if someone modify the code later and juste change it in 1 place, everything will blow up…
This is why I am looking for somehting “shared”

Thanks

Answer 1

//The type of enum we want to use
var enm = typeof(AcceptRejectRule); //or any other enum

//Create the javascript string
var str = "var " + enm.Name + " = {\n" +
        String.Join(",\n", 
               Enum.GetValues(enm).Cast<object>()
               .Select (o => Enum.GetName(enm, o) + ": " + ((int)o))) +
        "\n};";

//Register the javascript to the page for rendering     
Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(), enm.Name, str, true);
