By default, the storage used to hold each item is a 32-bit integer; however, it is possible to alter

this storage slot if need be (e.g., when programming for a low-memory device such as a Pocket PC).

Also, the CTS demands that enumerated types derive from a common base class, System.Enum. As

you will see in Chapter 4, this base class defines a number of interesting members that allow you to

extract, manipulate, and transform the underlying name/value pairs programmatically.
