C# Example

using System;
public enum Colors {
  Red = 1,
  White = 2,
  Blue = 4
}
public class enumGetValues {
   public static void Main() {
      Array valueAry = Enum.GetValues(typeof(Colors));
      foreach (int i in valueAry) {
        Console.WriteLine("The value of element {0} is {1}",
        Enum.Format(typeof(Colors), i, "g"),i);
      }
   }
}

The output is

The value of element Red is 1.
The value of element White is 2.
