Type.GetEnumNames() Method in C#
The Type.GetEnumNames() method in C# is used to return the names of the members of the current enumeration type.
Syntax
Following is the syntax −
public virtual string[] GetEnumNames ();
Example
Let us now see an example to implement the Type.GetEnumNames() method −
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 now see another example to implement the Type.GetEnumNames() method −
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
