Enums

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!

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.

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
