Creating Enums with multiple params!?

[FOR111]

Hi All,

I don;t know if this is possible; but i would like to ask if the following Enumeration is possible using c#;

public class enum MyEnum {

SUCCESSFUL_REQUEST((short) 000, "Successful request");

}

or something similar where SUCCESSFUL_REQUEST is the text with which one can view the enum, 000 is the code and the rest is the text one wishes for in the log or to be viewed by the gui!?


thanks
Nick

enum is a type not a class. Enum is an class.

if you want to create a enum it looks like this

public enum MyEnum : [int, byte, short, long, ...]
{
   Enum1,
   Enum2,
   Enum3
}

by default the first value starts at 1 and increments by 1 step, however you can override this by explicitly assigning a value

public enum MyEnum : int
{
   Enum1 = 4,
   Enum2 = 16,
   Enum3 = 3
}

so in your example it could look something like this

public enum Status: int
{
   Success,
   Failure,
   Pending
}

You can create your own attribute and decorate your enumeration with it. This artical is a step by step.
