Check if an enum has a field that equals a string

Question

I have an enum

public enum FileExtentions {
    mp3,
    mpeg
}

And I have a FileInfo of which I want to check if the extension is in the previous enum. I was hoping I could do a

FileExtensions.Any(e=>e.ToString().Equals(file.Extension));

But that would have been too awesome. Any ideas?

Answer 1

What's the reason behind Any … Equals? Did you overlook Contains?

bool result = Enum.GetNames(typeof(FileExtensions)).Contains("mp3");

Answer 2

While pressing submit I thought of the answer myself:

Enum.GetNames(typeof(FileExtensions)).Any(f=>f.Equals("."+file.Extension))
