Dynamically Discovering an Enum’s Name/Value Pairs

Beyond the Enum.GetUnderlyingType() method, all C# enumerations support a method named

ToString(), which returns the string name of the current enumeration’s value. For example:

C H A P T E R   4  

■

C O R E   C #   P R O G R A M M I N G   C O N S T R U C T S, PA RT   I I
