Summary

A small .NET library providing a handful of useful Enum functions which are missing from the .NET Compact Framework (CF.NET).

Key Features

• Get Enum names as String array
• Get Enum values as Object array
• Get Enum value via its String name

Usage

Take as an example the following VB.NET Enum:

    Enum Season
        Spring
        Summer
        Fall
        Winter
    End Enum

1. Get Enum names as String array:

   Dim seasonNames = EnumUtils.GetNames(GetType(Season))
   Assert.AreEqual("Fall", seasonNames(2))
   

2. Get Enum values as Object array:

   Dim seasonValues = EnumUtils.GetValues(GetType(Season))
   Assert.AreEqual(2, seasonValues(2))
   

3. Get Enum value via its String name:

   Dim fallValue = EnumUtils.GetValueForName(GetType(Season), "Fall")
   Assert.AreEqual(2, fallValue)
   

How to Build

This library and associated unit tests were developed in VS 2008 as Smart Device projects.
