Enum Properties

patrick

Can I set static properties for an enum? for example:
enum animal{ cat, dog, elephant }

if something is of type animal.elephant it can fetch a color value always returning grey?

Accepted answer

what you mean is you can have a property that you send him the current Enum and receive the PropertyValue by that Enum, and it is applyable.

here is a sample

 enum Animal
{
 cat,
 dog
}
private Animal selectedAnimal = Animal.cat;
public Color AnimalColor
{
  get{switch (selectedAnimal )
      {
         case Animal.Cat:
             return Color.Gray
         default:
             return Color.None;
      } 

     }
}
