Most efficient way to parse a flagged enum to a list

Question

I have a flagged enum and need to retrieve the names of all values set on it.

I am currently taking advantage of the enum\'s ToString() method which returns the eleme

Answer 1

Enum.Parse will handle the concatenated values outputted by ToString just fine. Proof using the Immediate window:

? System.Enum.Parse(typeof(System.AttributeTargets), "Class, Enum")
Class | Enum

(the second line is the output, which is different in the debugger/immediate window from the generic Enum.ToString() output).
