In Java, it's possible to have methods inside an enum.
Is there such possibility in C# or is it just a string collection and that's it?
I tried to override ToString()
but it does not compile. Does someone have a simple code sample?
You can write extension methods for enum types:
enum Stuff
{
Thing1,
Thing2
}
static class StuffMethods
{
public static String GetString(this Stuff s1)
{
switch (s1)
{
case Stuff.Thing1:
return "Yeah!";
case Stuff.Thing2:
return "Okay!";
default:
return "What?!";
}
}
}
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Stuff thing = Stuff.Thing1;
String str = thing.GetString();
}
}
