This is the base class for all enumerations. In C#, you can use the enum keyword to create an enumeration type consisting of named constants and their values. By default, the underlying type used for enumeration elements is Int32, but you can use any integer data type.

public abstract class Enum : ValueType : IComparable, IFormattable, IConvertible {
// Protected Constructors
   protected Enum( );
// Public Static Methods
   public static string Format(Type enumType, object value, string format);
   public static string GetName(Type enumType, object value);
   public static string[ ] GetNames(Type enumType);
   public static Type GetUnderlyingType(Type enumType);
   public static Array GetValues(Type enumType);
   public static bool IsDefined(Type enumType, object value);
   public static object Parse(Type enumType, string value);
   public static object Parse(Type enumType, string value, bool ignoreCase);
   public static object ToObject(Type enumType, byte value);
   public static object ToObject(Type enumType, short value);
   public static object ToObject(Type enumType, int value);
   public static object ToObject(Type enumType, long value);
   public static object ToObject(Type enumType, object value);
   public static object ToObject(Type enumType, sbyte value);
   public static object ToObject(Type enumType, ushort value);
   public static object ToObject(Type enumType, uint value);
   public static object ToObject(Type enumType, ulong value);
// Public Instance Methods
   public int CompareTo(object target); 
// implements IComparable
   public override bool Equals(object obj);          
// overrides ValueType
   public override int GetHashCode( );    
// overrides ValueType
   public TypeCode GetTypeCode( );        
// implements IConvertible
   public override string ToString( );    
// overrides ValueType
   public string ToString(IFormatProvider provider); 
// implements IConvertible
   public string ToString(string format);
   public string ToString(string format, IFormatProvider provider)
// implements IFormattable
