I have an enum which is defined like this:
public enum eRat { A = 0, B=3, C=5, D=8 };
So given value eRat.B, I want to get the
Seems like an abuse of the enum class to me - but this would do it (assuming that calling Next on the last value would cause wrap-around):
public static eRat Next(this eRat target)
{
var nextValueQuery = Enum.GetValues(typeof(eRat)).Cast().SkipWhile(e => e != target).Skip(1);
if (nextValueQuery.Count() != 0)
{
return (eRat)nextValueQuery.First();
}
else
{
return eRat.A;
}
}
And this would give you the previous value on the same basis:
public static eRat Previous(this eRat target)
{
var nextValueQuery = Enum.GetValues(typeof(eRat)).Cast().Reverse().SkipWhile(e => e != target).Skip(1);
if (nextValueQuery.Count() != 0)
{
return (eRat)nextValueQuery.First();
}
else
{
return eRat.D;
}
}
