constant array with enum as "iterator"

[kittyyo]

Hi there,

I'd like to know if the following is possilbe in C#:

Consider the enum "DayOfWeek" which is already built into the .NET framework.
I'd like to create a constant one-dimensional array whose elements should be addressable by the DayOfWeek enum, for example (pseudo-code!)

const byte[DayOfWeek] MY_ARRAY = {5, 2, 6, 3, 6, 2, 1};

such that I could access the byte value "3" by

MY_ARRAY[Wednesday]

Thanks a lot for any suggestions,
Anne

Use a hashtable.

Cast the enum to an int, so that the indexer will understand it.

MyArray[(int)DayOfWeek.Wednesday]
