Generating Enums Dynamically

Question

Let\'s say I have a file whose format is basic XML, like so:

    
        SomeEnum<         


        

Answer 1

Actually it is possible to create enum instances dynamically, but it's a total hack, I wouldn't advise it at all - maybe you're misunderstanding the nature of an enum, it's a compile-time feature of the language, and you're not supposed to add/remove instances from it at runtime.

Anyway, if you're interested in the hack for creating enum instances dynamically, take a look at this article.
