Hi everyone!

I am working on system.reflection in C#. I have to read the enums values using reflection.But while doing am not getting the values.

Can any help me how to do the process?

C#

private void ExtractSampleConstants(Type t)
    {
        FieldInfo[] FInfo = t.GetFields(BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly | BindingFlags.IgnoreCase | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Static);
        foreach (FieldInfo fin in FInfo)
        {
            string ReplaceStr=string.Empty;
            string Fname = fin.Name;
            object Fvalue = fin.GetValue(fin.Name);
            if(t.Name=="SampleConstants")
                ReplaceStr=fin.DeclaringType.Name.ToString()+"."+Fname;
            else
                ReplaceStr = ConvertToShortForm(fin.DeclaringType.FullName.ToString()) + "." + Fname;
            DataDecl.FINFO.Add(new ConstInfo(Fname, Fvalue, ReplaceStr));
        }

Solution 2

If you must use reflection for this, then replace your line

object Fvalue = fin.GetValue(fin.Name);

with

C#

object Fvalue = fin.GetRawConstantValue();

Solution 1

You you mean the ordinal values?

All you have to do is cast it to the appropriate integer type.

Solution 3

You could use the static methods of the Enum class:

C#

public enum SomeEnum
{
  SomeItem,
  SomeItem2,
  SomeItem3
}

public void Something()
{
  var values = Enum.GetValues(typeof(SomeEnum));
}

and you'll not have to mess around with reflection.
