An Integer String In An Enum?
Oct 8, 2010I know this is a proper enum:
Private Enum Months
JANUARY = 1
FEBRUARY = 2
...
End Enum
However, I want to have an enum where the string will solely be integers.
Example:
Private Enum ColumnCounts
01 = 5
02 = 4
03 = 40[code].....
Essentially, I didn't want to put the f in there, just wanted to do 01. The way this will be called is:
Select Case (nRecordType)
Case "01"
...
Case "02"[code].....
Because I'm not making an instance of it and not calling a constructor, there's no way to autopopulate a Dictionary.And I don't want to convert to integer so I'm not going to do an array. That is just in case eventually the value gets above 99 and the next value would be A0.I'm trying to think of easy future changes to this and backwards compatability.If you need more explanations, let me know.
Edit 2:This is what I've done now and I think it should work:
Public Class Part
Private Shared columnCounts As Dictionary(Of String, Integer) = New Dictionary(Of String, Integer)
Public Shared Function ValidateColumns(ByRef lstFiels As List(Of String)) As Boolean[code]....
I can't verify that it's going to do what I want to, but it doesn't give me an error when I build it so I'm crossing my fingers.

Decreasing Value In C# Or .NET Enum?
Apr 23, 2012More for interest than actual need.is it possible to have an automatically decreasing enum in C# or VB.NET?
public enum testEnum
{
this = -1,
that,
other,
}
So that that = -2 and other = -3.I'm pretty sure the only way to do it is to specifically assign "that" and "other", but I wondered if there was an automatic way of doing it.
Edit To be clear, I'm simply talking about the automatic assignment of the value, not the actual value of the enum decreasing.

Get Enum Given Its Name (convert From C#)?
Oct 14, 2009How do I do this C# statement in VB.Net (2005):MainMap.MapType =(MapType)comboBoxMapType.SelectedValue;MainMap only accepts Types so passing the Integer value of the type is not possible. The combo contains a list of strings:comboBoxMapType.DataSource = Enum.GetValues(typeof(MapType));In my case I need to limit the list to less than 100% of the Enum values so code similar to .Datasource= code will not work.So in general I need a way to return an enum given the name of the enum.Maybe I should just do a Collection of Enums (if that is even possible) and use the name as the Key?
