.NET Forum / Languages / C# / January 2008enum basics
hey all, is there anyway to ask the Enum what the string value is with a given value? Like how you would access an element of an array? enum Myenum { test1=1 test2=2 } This won't work but may better explain: String a = MyEnum[1]; thanks, rodchar MyEnum.test1.ToString( ); or Enum.GetName ( typeof ( MyEnum ) , MyEnum.test1 ) or Enum.GetNames ( typeof ( MyEnum ) ) [ 0 ] > hey all, > is there anyway to ask the Enum what the string value is with a given [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > thanks, > rodchar What is "none of the above", Alex? All options will cause you problems if you obfuscate your code, found that one out the hard way ;-). Regards, Jeroen PS. If this thread was meant as a particular question, then I missed it...

Hmm... then somewhere you needed to map those enums to strings, which suggests the obfuscation was totally pointless anyway. As per usual.
