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

+1 to Ani. Here's the VB.NET version

Here's the VB.NET version of Ani's answer:

Public Enum typFoo
    itemA = 1
    itemB = 2
    itemC = 3
End Enum

Sub example()

    Dim dict As Dictionary(Of Integer, String) = System.Enum.GetValues(GetType(typFoo)) _
                                                 .Cast(Of typFoo)() _
                                                 .ToDictionary(Function(t) Integer.Parse(t), Function(t) t.ToString())
    For Each i As KeyValuePair(Of Integer, String) In dict
        MsgBox(String.Format("Key: {0}, Value: {1}", i.Key, i.Value))
    Next

End Sub

Additional example

In my case, I wanted to save the path of important directories and store them in my web.config file's AppSettings section. Then I created an enum to represent the keys for these AppSettings...but my front-end engineer needed access to these locations in our external JavaScript files. So, I created the following code-block and placed it in our primary master page. Now, each new Enum item will auto-create a corresponding JavaScript variable. Here's my code block:

NOTE: In this example, I used the name of the enum as the key (not the int value).
