Enum

Synopsis

This is the base class for all enumerations. In C#, you can use the enum keyword to create an enumeration type consisting of named constants and their values. By default, the underlying type used for enumeration elements is Int32, but you can use any integer data type.

// Protected Constructors
   protected method Enum();  
// Public Static Methods
   public static method string Format(Type enumType, 
        object value, string format);  
   public static method string GetName(Type enumType, 
        object value);

        object value);
