VS 2010 Enum Class And Cyclic Correspondence Checking

I wanted to make a collection of definitions public, for which the Enum class was a perfect candidate, but I also had the need to check variables against all the possibile enum members to see which one they were.

In this scenario my solution was to write a public enum class in which all the members were made available, and replicate the same listing in an array in order to iterate through.

In fact the only way I know to iterate through all memebers is a cycle (either "for each" or "while somecondition" and a moving index). But I guess there must be a simpler way to make use of an enum class.
