C# enum get value by name

You can assign different values to enum member . A change in the default value of an enum member will automatically assign incremental values to the other members sequentially.

An enumeration is a great way to define a set of constant values in a single data type. If you want to display an enum’s element name on your UI directly by calling its ToString() method , it will be displayed as it has been defined.

The only way to add values to a enum is to recompile the application . Even then, the application must have code to handle those enums.
