C# Programmatically make enum
-1
I'd like ask is there any method to make enum with string array.
for example, usually we make enum like this.
public enum Temp {
aa = 0,
bb,
cc,
dd
}
What I wish to know is, how to convert String array to enum programmatically.
String Temp = { aa, bb, cc, dd }
to above one ( String to enum ).
is it possible?
if then, how can I do this?

Please be very specific, Do you want to convert a string array to anenumarray. or do you want create a newenumbased on a string array? In the case of the later, it doesnt make any sense what-so-ever. how would you even write further code for it. What i am guessing you want, is maybe aDictionary<string,int>

You can’t create an enum programmatically because an enum is created at compile time and your program doesn’t run until run time.

Yes you can programmatically do this. You will have to look into System.CodDom theres a bunch of material that has to be covered so I didn't write a answer to the question.

I would be curious what you would want to do with this, but you can create a new enum type at runtime.
private static Type BuildEnum(string enumValues, string enumName)
{
AssemblyName aName = new AssemblyName("TempAssembly");
AssemblyBuilder ab = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.DefineDynamicAssembly(
aName, AssemblyBuilderAccess.RunAndSave);
var eb = ab.DefineDynamicModule(aName.Name, aName.Name + ".dll").DefineEnum(enumName, TypeAttributes.Public, typeof(int));
for (int i = 0; i < enumValues.Length; i++)
{
eb.DefineLiteral(enumValues[i], i);
}
return eb.CreateType();
}
var myEnum = BuildEnum(new string { "aa", "bb", "cc", "dd" }, "Temp");
var enumValues = Enum.GetValues(myEnum)
