C# Enums with reserved keywords

C# Enums with reserved keywords

In C#, you can use reserved keywords as the names of enum values by prefixing them with the @ symbol. This tells the C# compiler to treat the reserved keyword as a regular identifier.

Here's an example of how to define an enum with a reserved keyword as a value:

enum HttpMethod { Get, Post, Put, Delete, @class, @interface }

In this example, we define an enum named HttpMethod with five standard values (Get, Post, Put, and Delete) and two values with reserved keywords (class and interface). To use the reserved keyword as an enum value, we prefix it with the @ symbol.

To use an enum value with a reserved keyword in your code, you can either use the @ symbol to prefix the value:

HttpMethod method = HttpMethod.@class;

Or you can cast the value to an integer and use it directly:

int value = (int)HttpMethod.@interface;

In general, it's a good practice to avoid using reserved keywords as identifiers in your code. However, if you need to use a reserved keyword as an enum value, you can do so by prefixing it with the @ symbol.
