Enumeration Comparison

Question

Also below I am try to compare Enumeration value, for some reason the statement is dropping into the condition which is not valid. Because the value equal to each other when I step into the code. So it should not jump into the case below.

prevColorOn.Type = On
ColorType.ColorOn = On

if (prevColorOn.Type != ColorType.ColorOn)
              {
                  throw new ArgumentException("prevColorOn", "Did not recieved expected ColorType'prevColorOn'.");
              }

The enum member is 'ColorOn' rather than just 'On'. So this line: private ColorType type = ColorType.On; should be: private ColorType type = ColorType.ColorOn; Subject to that your original 'if' statement should work fine: if (prevColorOn.Type != ColorType.ColorOn) { throw new ArgumentException(prevColorOn Did not recieved expected ColorType'prevColorOn'.); }

hi i think is some thing is wrong while you assigned default value in you class to on. try using auto implemented property. public class Color { public ColorType Type { get; set; } // construcor of class public Color() { this.Type = ColorType.On; } } hope this will help you.

Color prevColorOn; Its a color object I created. In the color object there exist a enum ColorType. review below enum ColorType { ColorOn ColorOff } public class Color { private ColorType type = ColorType.On; /// /// Gets or sets the color type. (On|Off) /// /// /// The type. /// public ColorType Type { get { return type; } set { type = value; } } }

Hi David What is the data type of prevColorOn ? Is it an enum?

David Smith · Answer

enum declarations enum ColorType { ColorOn ColorOff }

Muralidharan Deenathayalan · Answer

By default enum types have int type only. Can you please post the enum declarations here?

David Smith · Answer

This enumeration comparison below works is there another way to do it without using the integer value of the enumeration type. prevColorOn = GetColorInfo((string)en.Current); if ((int)prevColorOn.Type != (int)ColorTimeType.On) { throw new ArgumentException(prevColorOn.Type Did not recieved expected ColorTimeType 'prevColorOn'.); }
