There isn’t, but if you want the name of a month you can use: CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.GetMonthName (DateTime.Now.Month); which will return a string representation (of the current month, in this case). Note that GetMonth takes arguments from 1 to 13 – January is 1, 13 is a blank string.
For those lured here by title: yes, you can define your own methods in your enum. If you are wondering how to invoke such non-static method, you do it same way as with any other non-static method – you invoke it on instance of type which defines or inherits that method. In case of enums … Read more
Here it is straight from Microsoft: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/4×252001(VS.71).aspx Use a singular name for most Enum types, but use a plural name for Enum types that are bit fields.
Boolean’s represent “yes/no” choices. If you want to represent a “yes/no”, then use a boolean, it should be self-explanatory. But if it’s a choice between two options, neither of which is clearly yes or no, then an enum can sometimes be more readable.
Looking at the Java API Specification for the Iterator interface, there is an explanation of the differences between Enumeration: Iterators differ from enumerations in two ways: Iterators allow the caller to remove elements from the underlying collection during the iteration with well-defined semantics. Method names have been improved. The bottom line is, both Enumeration and … Read more
foreach (Suit suit in (Suit[]) Enum.GetValues(typeof(Suit))) { } Note: The cast to (Suit[]) is not strictly necessary, but it does make the code 0.5 ns faster.
You found a code generation bug in the .NET 4 x86 jitter. It is a very unusual one, it only fails when the code is not optimized. The machine code looks like this: State a = s[0, 0]; 013F04A9 push 0 ; index 2 = 0 013F04AB mov ecx,dword ptr [ebp-40h] ; s[] reference 013F04AE … Read more
~ is the unary one’s complement operator — it flips the bits of its operand. ~0 = 0xFFFFFFFF = -1 in two’s complement arithmetic, ~x == -x-1 the ~ operator can be found in pretty much any language that borrowed syntax from C, including Objective-C/C++/C#/Java/Javascript.
