Enumeration Comparison

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;
            }
        }
    }

enum declarations

enum ColorType
{
    ColorOn,
    ColorOff   
}

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'.");
                      }
