Dear All,

I am using enum type in my code, i need to reset the existing enum type. how can i achieve this.

public enum shape { line = 1, Rectangle, Circle };

here,

line=1,

Rectangle=2,

Circle=3

I need to reset this as ,

line=0,

Rectangle=0,

Circle=0

How can i reset this enum type. If Any one known about this kindly guide me.

You cannot change the integral values of enum elements at runtime. You should make another enum if you need different values.

If you want an enum with all the values equal to each other, then the enum is useless.


enum Shapes {
Line = 0,
Circle = 0
}

public void Method ()
{
Shapes shape = Shapes.Line;
if (shape == Shapes.Circle)
throw new WtfException ();
}

That code will throw a WtfException. Is this what you really want? If so, then you don't want an enum.

Mutant, I can't give you rep, but +1 for making me laugh with the WtfException class. Hopefully the OP can convince their co-workers that they do not understand what an enum is for.
