how can i use switch statement on type-safe enum pattern
- by Fer
I found a goodlooking example about implementation enums in a different way. That is called type-safe enum pattern i think. I started using it but i realized that i can not use it in a switch statement.
My implementation looks like the following:
public sealed class MyState
{
private readonly string m_Name;
private readonly int m_Value;
public static readonly MyState PASSED= new MyState(1, "OK");
public static readonly MyState FAILED= new MyState(2, "ERROR");
private MyState(int value, string name)
{
m_Name = name;
m_Value = value;
}
public override string ToString()
{
return m_Name;
}
public int GetIntValue()
{
return m_Value;
}
}
What can i add to my class in order to be able to use this pattern in switch statements in C#?
Thanks.
