Using static within an enum

Question

Is it possible to use 'static' within an enum as such:

private enum pdfMode
{
   generate,
   static
}

Obviously 'static' is a key word.

It would be nice as I have a pdfMode which is indeed referred to within the app as 'static'.

Answer 1

To use a keyword as an identifier use the @ symbol:

@static

But using Pascal case is advisable here.

private enum PdfMode
{
   Generate,
   Static
}

See the Enumeration Type Naming Guidelines:

Use Pascal case for Enum types and value names.

Answer 2

One possibility is to use Generate and Static inside the enum. IMO uppercase looks best there anyway.
