Question

Let’s say I have the following enum:

public enum Colors
{
    White = 10,
    Black = 20,
    Red = 30,
    Blue = 40
}

I’m wondering if there is a way to iterate through all the members of Colors to find the member names and their values.

Answer 1

You can use Enum.GetNames and Enum.GetValues:

var names = Enum.GetNames(typeof(Colors));
var values = Enum.GetValues(typeof(Colors));

for (int i=0;i<names.Length;++i)
{
    Console.WriteLine("{0} : {1}", names[i], (int)values.GetValue(i));
}

Note: When I tried to run the code using values[i], it threw an exception because values is of type Array.
