2009-12-04 UPDATE: For profiling results on a number of the suggestions posted here, see below!
Consider the following very
Assuming every input will be a valid ActivCode
, that you can change the enumeration values and highly coupled to the GetHashCode
implementation:
enum MarketDataExchange
{
NONE,
NBBO = 371857150,
AMEX = 372029405,
BSE = 372029408,
BATS = -1850320644,
NSE = 372029407,
CHX = -284236702,
NYSE = 372029412,
ARCA = -734575383,
NASDAQ = 372029421,
NASDAQ_ADF = -1137859911,
CBOE = 372029419,
PHLX = 372029430,
DIRECTEDGE = 372029429
}
public static MarketDataExchange GetMarketDataExchange(string ActivCode)
{
if (ActivCode == null) return MarketDataExchange.NONE;
return (MarketDataExchange)ActivCode.GetHashCode();
}
