Examples

The following example illustrates the use of the GetNames method.

using namespace System;
enum class Colors
{
   Red, Green, Blue, Yellow
};

enum class Styles
{
   Plaid, Striped, Tartan, Corduroy
};

int main()
{
   Console::WriteLine( "The members of the Colors enum are:" );
   Array^ a = Enum::GetNames( Colors::typeid );
   Int32 i = 0;
   do
   {
      Object^ o = a->GetValue( i );
      Console::WriteLine( o->ToString() );
   }
   while ( ++i < a->Length );

   Console::WriteLine();
   Console::WriteLine( "The members of the Styles enum are:" );
   Array^ b = Enum::GetNames( Styles::typeid );
   i = 0;
   do
   {
      Object^ o = b->GetValue( i );
      Console::WriteLine( o->ToString() );
   }
   while ( ++i < b->Length );
}
// The example displays the following output:
//       The members of the Colors enum are:

' The example displays the following output:

Remarks

The elements of the return value array are sorted by the binary values of the enumerated constants (that is, by their unsigned magnitude). The following example provides displays information about the array returned by the GetNames method for an enumeration that includes a negative, zero, and a positive value.

using System;

enum SignMagnitude { Negative = -1, Zero = 0, Positive = 1 };

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      foreach (var name in Enum.GetNames(typeof(SignMagnitude))) {
         Console.WriteLine("{0,3:D}     0x{0:X}     {1}",
                           Enum.Parse(typeof(SignMagnitude), name),
                           name);
}   }
}
// The example displays the following output:
//         0     0x00000000     Zero
//         1     0x00000001     Positive
//        -1     0xFFFFFFFF     Negative

open System

type SignMagnitude =
   | Negative = -1
   | Zero = 0
   | Positive = 1

for name in Enum.GetNames typeof<SignMagnitude> do
    let p = Enum.Parse(typeof<SignMagnitude>, name)
    printfn $"{p,3:D}     0x{p:X}     {name}"

// The example displays the following output:
//         0     0x00000000     Zero
//         1     0x00000001     Positive
//        -1     0xFFFFFFFF     Negative

Public Enum SignMagnitude As Integer
   Negative = -1 
   Zero = 0
   Positive = 1
End Enum
   
Module Example
   Public Sub Main()
      Dim names() As String = [Enum].GetNames(GetType(SignMagnitude))
      For Each name In names
         Console.WriteLine("{0,3:D}     0x{0:X}     {1}", 
                           [Enum].Parse(GetType(SignMagnitude), name), 
                           name)
      Next
   End Sub
End Module
' The example displays the following output:
'      0     0x00000000     Zero
'      1     0x00000001     Positive
'     -1     0xFFFFFFFF     Negative

If there are enumerated constants with same value, the order of their corresponding names is unspecified.
