Enum class

I see a note in _Microsoft Visual C#.net Step by Step_ on
page 168 that says that "All enumeration types
automatically inherit some useful enumeration-related
methods from the System.Enum class."  On that same page
there is an example of one of them, ToString().

My question is: where can I find a list of the other
methods in the System.Enum class, or any other class?  
I've checked the VS.net documentation and the MDSN online
docs, and I'm not sure if I'm just not looking in the
right place or what.

Thanks for any help!

John,
Start your MSDN library (VS.NET documentation), select the index tab, type
'System.Enum' (without the quotes). It should position you to System.Enum
class, press enter. You should see a list of members.

Start VS.NET, select 'View - Object Browser', expand mscorlib, expand
System, select Enum. You should see a list of members, expand Enum/Basees
and interfaces to see inherited members.

Unfortunately search MSDN for System.Enum brings up almost every page on
MSDN... I normally manually expand the tree: ".NET Development - .NET
Framework SDK - .NET Framework - Reference - Class Library - System - Enum"

Hope this helps

Thanks Jay!  That DOES help, a lot.  (I'd not thought of
using the Object Browser; that's a neat little tool!)
