Using Numbers in an Enum **SOLVED**

Hey all, I am trying to use Numbers in my Enum, but I get an Error.

Code:

---

public enum myCode{100,200,300,....}

---

If I write plain text it works

Code:

---

public enum myCode{one,two,three,....}

---

Error says: Identifier expected!

Can anyone explain?

Thanks,

Stephan

Why whould you need numbers? An enum is used to give numbers a name, not to give numbers a new value?


What are you trying to do? do you know what an enum is?

I have a couple of errorcodes that I want to provide for my Exception class! For example 100 = UserException.

So in the end I want to do something like this:

Code:

---

throw new CustomException(myCode.100);

---

What would be the best approach for something like that?

Isn't it easier to just remember the name then the error code anyway. So you can have an Enum like this:

Code:

---

                enum myCode : int {
                        UserException = 100,
                        NoteMeException,  //This will imply 101 as the number for this string
                }

---

Then you can do:

Code:

---

throw new CustomException((int)myCode.UserException);

---

You are then throwing an int, and the value of that int is 100.
