    Enum problem

    Reply Quote
    I have finally managed to get the connection working with my XBOX but now have a problem with my game.

    Here is the code that gives me the error:

                foreach (Suit suit in Enum.GetValues(typeof(Suit)))  
                {  
                    foreach (FaceValue facevalue in Enum.GetValues(typeof(FaceValue)))  
                    {  
     
                    }  
                } 

    I get the error message: 'System.Enum' does not contain a definition for 'GetVaues'

    Does anyone know a work around of this which will work with the XBOX as the above code works fine on windows.

    The .NET in xbox 360 is a "compact version" which means doesn't have all the libraries available in the PC.

    Even though Enum.GetValues() doesn't exist on the Xbox, you could just create a List of all the values in your enum (possibly in a static class or as an extention method for convienience), and foreach threw that. However, you would have to manually add each value in your enum to your List (or use a for loop and cast the type the enum uses to store the value to the enum value).

    See this (now ancient) thread which offers numerous solutions to the lack of Enum.GetValues on Xbox: http://forums.xna.com/forums/p/1610/157478.aspx.

    I recently ran into this, and there is a workaround. See this thread.

    Note that it was the first entry here. :)

    Yes, this is annoying! The best option I know is to declare a matching string array:

      enum Suit { Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, Spades };
  static string[] SuitValueName = new string [] { "Clubs", "Diamonds", "Hearts", "Spades" };

    I just keep manually a counter.

    When i add an enum value, i update the counter.

    enum Suit { Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, Spades };
    const int suitCount = 4;
