C# enums as function parameters?

Question

Can you pass a standard c# enum as a parameter?

For example:

enum e1
{
    //...
}

enum e2
{
    //...
}

public void test()
{
    myFunc( e1 );

Use the Enum.GetNames( typeof(e) ) method, this will return an array of strings with the names.

You can also use Enum.GetValues to obtain the counterpart values.

Edit -Whoops - if you are passing the parameter as Enum, you will need to use e.GetType() instead of typeof() which you would use if you had passed the parameter in as the actual Enum type name.
