This question already has an answer here:
How do I enumerate an enum in C#? 26 answers
public enum Foos
{
A,
B,
C
}
Is there a way to loop through the possible values of Foos
?
Basically?
foreach(Foo in Foos)
Yes you can use the GetValues
method:
var values = Enum.GetValues(typeof(Foos));
Or the typed version:
var values = Enum.GetValues(typeof(Foos)).Cast<Foos>();
I long ago added a helper function to my private library for just such an occasion:
public static class EnumUtil {
public static IEnumerable<T> GetValues<T>() {
return Enum.GetValues(typeof(T)).Cast<T>();
}
}
Usage:
var values = EnumUtil.GetValues<Foos>();
