Initial Value of an Enum

Question

I have a class with a property which is an enum

The enum is

/// 

/// All available delivery actions
/// 
public enum E         


        

Answer 1

You can start your enums at any value (such as 1), but when they represent a lookup value in a Database, you generally want them to match up.

I generally declare the first Enum as None ( = 0) when it makes sense to do so, as per the .Net Framework Design guidelines.
