Enum or something else..??

[RRDejaVu]

Hi (first sorry for my bad english)


i have follow code:

Public Const COMPANY_TABLE As String = "Company"
Public Const COMPID_FIELD As String = "CompID"
Public Const COMPANYNAME_FIELD As String = "Companyname"
 
Public Enum FIELDS
   COMPID_FIELD
   COMPANYNAME_FIELD
End Enum

now, i would like to get back for example the COMPANYNAME_FIELD Value.

dim CompanyField as String = FIELDS.COMPANYNAME_FIELD
CompanyField should be now "Companyname"

I just want to list the possible fields in the .NET Environment
( public sub myFunction(byval Field as FIELDS) )

Maybe there is another way how to do this?

If I understand the question correctly, the static GetValues() member of the enum type will return a string array, containg the enum item(s).

using System;

class ListEnum {

    public enum Day {
        Morning,
        Afternoon,
        Evening
    }

    static void Main() {
        string[] enums = Enum.GetNames(typeof(Day));
        foreach(string e in enums) {
	Console.WriteLine(e);
        }
     }
}

The code is in C#, but you can use the same logic for VB.NET.[
