Is there any way to convert a Enum to List ?
public enum TiposHospedagem
{
Casa = 1,
Hotel = 2,
Pousada = 3,
CasaCampo = 4
}
I'm trying to get enum and add to the list, but foreach does not want to do this.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var lista = new List<Int32>();
foreach (var th in TiposHospedagem)
{
lista.Add(Convert.ToInt32(th));
}
}
As answer in the SO , you can do this:
using System;
using System.Linq;
using static System.Console;
using System.Collections.Generic;
public class Program {
public static void Main() {
var lista = new List<int>();
foreach (int item in Enum.GetValues(typeof(TiposHospedagem))) {
lista.Add(item);
}
foreach (var item in lista) {
WriteLine(item);
}
}
}
public enum TiposHospedagem {
Casa = 1,
Hotel = 2,
Pousada = 3,
CasaCampo = 4
}
See working on dotNetFiddle .
The solution will obviously vary as needed. Then another possibility would be:
var lista = Enum.GetValues(typeof(TiposHospedagem)).Cast<int>().ToList();
See running on dotNetFiddle .
It may not be very performative as it uses reflection, but should meet most needs well.
This code takes all the existing values in the enumeration, makes a cast on each member for an integer, since it is the type you want (if you wanted, another could be a problem) and converts to the list. All this using LINQ, so you can do it in one line.
You can use the following syntax:
Enum.GetValues(typeof(MeuEnumerador)).Cast<MeuEnumerador>();
And this will return a specialized IEnumerable interface to type MyEnumerator.
To convert the data through this interface to a list you must use the ".ToList ()" method of it
Note: You need to include the System.Linq namespace in your code to use this code.
