Quick Tip: Iterate through an enum in .NET
Here’s a quicky for you. Iterating through an Enum in .NET, replace ‘IconResource‘ with the Enum you want to iterate.
C#
Array enumValues = System.Enum.GetValues(typeof(IconResource));
foreach (IconResource resource in enumValues)
{
Console.WriteLine("Resource: {0}", resource);
}
VB.NET
Dim enumValues As Array = System.[Enum].GetValues(GetType(IconResource))
For Each resource As IconResource In enumValues
Console.WriteLine("Resource: {0}", resource)
Next
Useful?

Here is an other nice quicky for working with Enums. Hof often dit you have an int and wanted the Enum value for it? Her is a nice helper class so that you can do something like:
myIntValue.ToEnum()
public static class EnumHelper
{
public static T ToEnum(this int number)
{
return (T)Enum.ToObject(typeof(T), number);
}
}
hmm… lost some text in the code above… It should be:
tempCleaningStatus.ToEnum<CleaningStatus>()
public static T ToEnum<T>(this int number)
good, thanks for the info
