Enumerations types

Enumeration types are similar to each other in C and C#

  public enum Ranking {Bad, OK, Good}

  public enum OnOff: byte{
    On = 1, Off = 0}

An extension of C enumeration types:
- Enumeration types of several different underlying types can be defined (not just int)
- Enumeration types inherit a number of methods from the type System.Enum
- The symbolic enumeration constants can be printed (not just the underlying number)
- Values, for which no enumeration constant exist, can be dealt with
- Combined enumerations represent a collection of enumerations
