22.7 Enumerations
C# uses the
enum statement along with opening and closing
braces to indicate the beginning and end of an enumeration
definition. For example:
public enum CheckedState {
// enumeration members
}In VB, an enumeration is defined by the Enum... End
Enum construct. For example, the VB version of the
CheckedState enum declaration is:
Public Enum CheckedState
' enumeration members
End Enum
In both C# and VB, the member listing consists of the name of the
enumerated member and its value. These are identical in C# and VB,
except that C# adds a comma to separate one member of the enumeration
from another, whereas VB requires that they be on separate lines. For
example, the full declaration of the CheckedState
enumeration in C# is:
public enum CheckedState {
Unchecked = 0,
Checked = 1,
Indeterminate = 2
}The VB equivalent is:
Public Enum CheckedState
Unchecked = 0
Checked = 1
Indeterminate = 2
End Enum
