public enum Foos {     A,     B,     C } 

Is there a way to loop through the possible values of Foos?

Basically?

foreach(Foo in Foos) 

Answer 1

Yes you can use the ‍GetValue‍‍‍s method:

var values = Enum.GetValues(typeof(Foos)); 

Or the typed version:

var values = Enum.GetValues(typeof(Foos)).Cast<Foos>(); 

I long ago added a helper function to my private library for just such an occasion:

public static class EnumUtil {     public static IEnumerable<T> GetValues<T>() {         return Enum.GetValues(typeof(T)).Cast<T>();     } } 

Usage:

var values = EnumUtil.GetValues<Foos>(); 

Answer 2

foreach(Foos foo in Enum.GetValues(typeof(Foos)))
