Convert Enum to List [duplicate]

Question

Say i have the following Enum Values

enum Language     {        CSharp= 0,         Java = 1,         VB = 2      } 

I would like to convert them to list of values (i.e) { CSharp,Java,VB}.

How to convert them to a list of values?

Answer 1

Language[] result = (Language[])Enum.GetValues(typeof(Language)) 

will get you your values, if you want a list of the enums.

If you want a list of the names, use this:

string[] names = Enum.GetNames(typeof(Languages));
