Enums

Question

What I am trying to figure out is how to create this enum list to pass to the parameters? public MyClass { public enum BypassStuff { Site HostName } private static void LoadSettings(List passedBS) { } } I have read that enums are suppose to only pass as value types and not reference types. I am trying to bypass values from my application that are normally programmatically set when my server is initialized. So is there a way I can pass a string value to the enum list? thanks in advance!

If you want to create enum dynamically here is the reference https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.reflection.emit.enumbuilder(v=vs.110).aspx But why can't you use create a dictionary instead of enum

Thanks for your in input ramya. What we were trying to do is bypass windows registry so we could connect our application to a linux system. I figured out that I just had to pass the variables I wanted from the caller to bypass particular registry keys I wanted to pass as arguments from the command line.
