Enum Methods

The Enum type exposes the following members.

Methods

	Name	Description
	CompareTo	Compares this instance to a specified object and returns an indication of their relative values.
	Equals	Returns a value indicating whether this instance is equal to a specified object. (Overrides ValueType..::.Equals(Object).)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	Format	Converts the specified value of a specified enumerated type to its equivalent string representation according to the specified format.
	GetHashCode	Returns the hash code for the value of this instance. (Overrides ValueType..::.GetHashCode()()().)
	GetName	Retrieves the name of the constant in the specified enumeration that has the specified value.
	GetNames	Retrieves an array of the names of the constants in a specified enumeration.
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetTypeCode	Returns the underlying TypeCode for this instance.
	GetUnderlyingType	Returns the underlying type of the specified enumeration.
	GetValues	Retrieves an array of the values of the constants in a specified enumeration.
	HasFlag	Determines whether one or more bit fields are set in the current instance.
	IsDefined	Indicates whether a constant with a specified value exists in a specified enumeration.
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Parse(Type, String)	Converts the string representation of the name or numeric value of one or more enumerated constants to an equivalent enumerated object.
	Parse(Type, String, Boolean)	Converts the string representation of the name or numeric value of one or more enumerated constants to an equivalent enumerated object. A parameter specifies whether the operation is case-insensitive.
	ToObject(Type, Byte)	Converts the specified 8-bit unsigned integer to an enumeration member.
	ToObject(Type, Int16)	Converts the specified 16-bit signed integer to an enumeration member.
	ToObject(Type, Int32)	Converts the specified 32-bit signed integer to an enumeration member.
	ToObject(Type, Int64)	Converts the specified 64-bit signed integer to an enumeration member.
	ToObject(Type, Object)	Converts the specified object with an integer value to an enumeration member.
	ToObject(Type, SByte)	Converts the specified 8-bit signed integer value to an enumeration member.
	ToObject(Type, UInt16)	Converts the specified 16-bit unsigned integer value to an enumeration member.
	ToObject(Type, UInt32)	Converts the specified 32-bit unsigned integer value to an enumeration member.
	ToObject(Type, UInt64)	Converts the specified 64-bit unsigned integer value to an enumeration member.
	ToString()()()	Converts the value of this instance to its equivalent string representation. (Overrides ValueType..::.ToString()()().)
	ToString(IFormatProvider)	Obsolete. This method overload is obsolete; use Enum..::.ToString()()().
	ToString(String)	Converts the value of this instance to its equivalent string representation using the specified format.
	ToString(String, IFormatProvider)	Obsolete. This method overload is obsolete; use Enum..::.ToString(String).
	TryParse<(Of <(TEnum>)>)(String, TEnum%)	Converts the string representation of the name or numeric value of one or more enumerated constants to an equivalent enumerated object. The return value indicates whether the conversion succeeded.
	TryParse<(Of <(TEnum>)>)(String, Boolean, TEnum%)	Converts the string representation of the name or numeric value of one or more enumerated constants to an equivalent enumerated object. A parameter specifies whether the operation is case-sensitive. The return value indicates whether the conversion succeeded.
