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

Use:

public static class EnumHelper
{
    public static IDictionary ConvertToDictionary() where T : struct
    {
        var dictionary = new Dictionary();

        var values = Enum.GetValues(typeof(T));

        foreach (var value in values)
        {
            int key = (int) value;

            dictionary.Add(key, value.ToString());
        }

        return dictionary;
    }
}

Usage:

public enum typFoo : int
{
   itemA = 1,
   itemB = 2,
   itemC = 3
}

var mydic = EnumHelper.ConvertToDictionary();
