Hello,

I have an enumeration as follows:

public enum RoleType {
Administrator,
Collaborator,
...
}

How can I loop through each item in the enumeration and use it's
value? I was trying the following:

foreach (RoleType role in RoleType) {
Roles.CreateRole(role.ToString());
}

This is not working.

Thanks,
Miguel

I think I solved it:

foreach (string role in Enum.GetNames(typeof(RoleType))) {
Roles.CreateRole(role);
}

Not sure if it is the best way but ...

That gets names - to get values, call Enum.GetValues(...)
