Enum to Dictionary in C#

Question

I have searched this online, but I can\'t find the answer I am looking for.

Basically I have the following enum:

public enum typFoo : int
{
   itemA         


        

Answer 1

Adapting Ani's answer so that it can be used as a generic method (thanks, toddmo):

public static Dictionary EnumDictionary()
{
    if (!typeof(T).IsEnum)
        throw new ArgumentException("Type must be an enum");
    return Enum.GetValues(typeof(T))
        .Cast()
        .ToDictionary(t => (int)(object)t, t => t.ToString());
}
