I have declared an enum:
public enum SupportedPermissions { basic, repository, both } I also have a POCO like this:
public class File { public string Id { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public string Description { get; set; } public SupportedPermissions SupportedPermissions { get; set; } } Now I would like to create a method that I can use to create a new File object with:
public string CreateFile(string id, string name, string description, Enum supportedPermissions) { file = new File { Name = name, Id = id, Description = description, SupportedPermissions = supportedPermissions.basic }; return file.Id; } How would I create the parameter for the enum and how would I assign that like in my pseudo code SupportedPermissions = supportedPermissions.basic so that my File instance has a SupportedPermissions set to it?

static class Myclass { ... public: enum encoding { BINARY, ASCII, ALNUM, NUM }; Myclass(Myclass::encoding); ... } Then in the method definition: Myclass::Myclass(Myclass::encoding enc) { ... }
To define enums, the enum keyword is used. enum flag {const1, const2, ..., constN}; By default, const1 is 0, const2 is 1 and so on. You can change default values of enum elements during declaration (if necessary).
Change the signature of the CreateFile method to expect a SupportedPermissions value instead of plain Enum. Show activity on this post. Show activity on this post. First change the method parameter Enum supportedPermissions to SupportedPermissions supportedPermissions .
You can use the operator & ( bitwise and ) and ( | bitwise or ) and use each bit as a bool. Remind that a enum behaves as a int. For example, if the user has pressed the keys W and S. Show activity on this post.
Change the signature of the CreateFile method to expect a SupportedPermissions value instead of plain Enum.
public string CreateFile(string id, string name, string description, SupportedPermissions supportedPermissions) { file = new File { Name = name, Id = id, Description = description, SupportedPermissions = supportedPermissions }; return file.Id; } Then when you call your method you pass the SupportedPermissions value to your method
var basicFile = CreateFile(myId, myName, myDescription, SupportedPermissions.basic); If you want to pass in the value to use, you have to use the enum type you declared and directly use the supplied value:
public string CreateFile(string id, string name, string description, /* --> */ SupportedPermissions supportedPermissions) { file = new File { Name = name, Id = id, Description = description, SupportedPermissions = supportedPermissions // <--- }; return file.Id; } If you instead want to use a fixed value, you don't need any parameter at all. Instead, directly use the enum value. The syntax is similar to a static member of a class:
public string CreateFile(string id, string name, string description) // <--- { file = new File { Name = name, Id = id, Description = description, SupportedPermissions = SupportedPermissions.basic // <--- }; return file.Id; } If you love us?
