Get the names of the members of the current enumeration type in C#
To get the names of the members of the current enumeration type, the code is as follows −
Example
using System; public class Demo { enum Vehicle {Car, Bus, Bike} public static void Main() { try { Type type = typeof(string); string[] str = type.GetEnumNames(); Console.WriteLine("GetEnumName() to return the constant name = " + str); Console.WriteLine("Listing constants .."); for (int i = 0; i < str.Length; i++) Console.Write("{0} ", str[i]); } catch (ArgumentException e) { Console.WriteLine("Not an enum!"); Console.Write("{0}", e.GetType(), e.Message); } } }
Output
This will produce the following output −
Not an enum! System.ArgumentException
Example
Let us see another example −
using System; public class Demo { enum Vehicle {Car, Bus, Bike, airplane} public static void Main() { try { Vehicle v = Vehicle.Bike; Type type = v.GetType(); string[] str = type.GetEnumNames(); Console.WriteLine("GetEnumName() to return the constant name = " + str); Console.WriteLine("Listing constants .."); for (int i = 0; i < str.Length; i++) Console.Write("{0} ", str[i]); } catch (ArgumentException e) { Console.WriteLine("Not an enum!"); Console.Write("{0}", e.GetType(), e.Message); } } }
Output
This will produce the following output −
GetEnumName() to return the constant name = System.String[] Listing constants .. Car Bus Bike airplane
