Public Methods

	CompareTo(object) : int Returns the sort order of the current instance compared to the specified object.
override	Equals(object) : bool Determines whether the current instance and the specified object represent the same type and value.
static	Format(Type, object, string) : string Converts the specified element of the specified enumeration type to its string representation using the specified format.
override	GetHashCode() : int Generates a hash code for the current instance.
static	GetName(Type, object) : string Retrieves the name of the constant of the specified enumeration type that has the specified value.
static	GetNames(Type) : string[] Returns a zero-based, one-dimensional string array that contains the names of the constants of the specified enumeration type.
	GetTypeCode() : TypeCode Documentation for this section has not yet been entered.
static	GetUnderlyingType(Type) : Type Returns the underlying type of the specified enumeration type.
static	GetValues(Type) : Array Returns a zero-based, one-dimensional array of the values of the constants of the specified enumeration type.
static	IsDefined(Type, object) : bool Returns a bool indicating whether a constant with the specified value exists in the specified enumeration type.
static	Parse(Type, string) : object Converts the specified string representation of one or more enumerated constants of a specified enumeration type to an equivalent enumerated object.
static	Parse(Type, string, bool) : object Converts the specified string representation of one or more enumerated constants of a specified enumeration type to an equivalent enumerated object. This method behaves in a case-sensitive or insensitive manner according to the specified bool.
static	ToObject(Type, byte) : object Returns an instance of the specified enumeration type set to the specified byte value.
static	ToObject(Type, short) : object Returns an instance of the specified enumeration type set to the specified short value.
static	ToObject(Type, int) : object Returns an instance of the specified enumeration type set to the specified int value.
static	ToObject(Type, long) : object Returns an instance of the specified enumeration type set to the specified long value.
static	ToObject(Type, object) : object Returns an instance of the specified enumeration type set to the specified value.
static	ToObject(Type, sbyte) : object Returns an instance of the specified enumeration type set to the specified sbyte value.
static	ToObject(Type, ushort) : object Returns an instance of the specified enumeration type set to the specified ushort value.
static	ToObject(Type, uint) : object Returns an instance of the specified enumeration type set to the specified uint value.
static	ToObject(Type, ulong) : object Returns an instance of the specified enumeration type set to the specified ulong value.
override	ToString() : string Converts the name of the value of the current instance to its equivalent string representation.
	ToString(IFormatProvider) : string Converts the name of the value of the current instance to its equivalent string representation.
	ToString(string) : string Converts the value of the current instance to its equivalent string representation using the specified format.
	ToString(string, IFormatProvider) : string Converts the numeric value of the current instance to its equivalent string representation using the specified format.
