You can convert the int back to an enumeration member with a simple cast, and then call ToString(): int value = GetValueFromDb(); var enumDisplayStatus = (EnumDisplayStatus)value; string stringValue = enumDisplayStatus.ToString();
This should do what you need. try { var enumType = typeof(FunkyAttributesEnum); var memberInfos = enumType.GetMember(FunkyAttributesEnum.NameWithoutSpaces1.ToString()); var enumValueMemberInfo = memberInfos.FirstOrDefault(m => m.DeclaringType == enumType); var valueAttributes = enumValueMemberInfo.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DescriptionAttribute), false); var description = ((DescriptionAttribute)valueAttributes[0]).Description; } catch { return FunkyAttributesEnum.NameWithoutSpaces1.ToString() }
You should always use enums when a variable (especially a method parameter) can only take one out of a small set of possible values. Examples would be things like type constants (contract status: “permanent”, “temp”, “apprentice”), or flags (“execute now”, “defer execution”). If you use enums instead of integers (or String codes), you increase compile-time … Read more
No, you can’t do this in Java. Aside from anything else, d would then presumably be an instance of A (given the normal idea of “extends”), but users who only knew about A wouldn’t know about it – which defeats the point of an enum being a well-known set of values. If you could tell … Read more
Though the answer is already provided, Almost no one pointed to the docs Here’s a snippet enum Enum { A } let nameOfA = Enum[Enum.A]; // “A” Keep in mind that string enum members do not get a reverse mapping generated at all.
This post is relevant here https://www.swift-studies.com/blog/2014/6/10/enumerating-enums-in-swift Essentially the proposed solution is enum ProductCategory : String { case Washers = “washers”, Dryers = “dryers”, Toasters = “toasters” static let allValues = [Washers, Dryers, Toasters] } for category in ProductCategory.allValues{ //Do something }
C++ has two kinds of enum: enum classes Plain enums Here are a couple of examples on how to declare them: enum class Color { red, green, blue }; // enum class enum Animal { dog, cat, bird, human }; // plain enum What is the difference between the two? enum classes – enumerator names … Read more
Quoting from the language specs:Iota Within a constant declaration, the predeclared identifier iota represents successive untyped integer constants. It is reset to 0 whenever the reserved word const appears in the source and increments after each ConstSpec. It can be used to construct a set of related constants: const ( // iota is reset to … Read more
This will return an IEnumerable<SomeEnum> of all the values of an Enum. Enum.GetValues(typeof(SomeEnum)).Cast<SomeEnum>(); If you want that to be a List<SomeEnum>, just add .ToList() after .Cast<SomeEnum>(). To use the Cast function on an Array you need to have the System.Linq in your using section.
.values() You can call the values() method on your enum. for (Direction dir : Direction.values()) { // do what you want } This values() method is implicitly declared by the compiler. So it is not listed on Enum doc.
