I have a class called Questions
(plural). In this class there is an enum called Question
(singular) which looks like this.
public enum Question
{
Role = 2,
ProjectFunding = 3,
TotalEmployee = 4,
NumberOfServers = 5,
TopBusinessConcern = 6
}
In the Questions
class, I have a get(int foo)
function that returns a Questions
object for that foo
. Is there an easy way to get the integer value from the enum so I can do something like Questions.Get(Question.Role)
?
Answer
Just cast the enum, e.g.
int something = (int) Question.Role;
The above will work for the vast majority of enums you see in the wild, as the default underlying type for an enum is int
.
However, as cecilphillip points out, enums can have different underlying types.
If an enum is declared as a uint
, long
, or ulong
, it should be cast to the type of the enum; e.g. for
enum StarsInMilkyWay:long {Sun = 1, V645Centauri = 2 .. Wolf424B = 2147483649};
you should use
long something = (long)StarsInMilkyWay.Wolf424B;
