C＃通过DLL名称从dll获取类中的枚举

Question

I've been trying to do a very general enum handler and I want to be able to specify the enum to be used with a string. Normally, this would not be a problem since I know how to get an enum based on its name.

The problem I'm facing is that the enums are located in a dll file in a class. This is how i normally would access the enums:

using ExampleDLL;

public void test() 
{
    //ExampleClass is from the ExampleDLL
    int value = ExampleClass.ExampleEnum.ExampleEnumerator;
}

But in my case i don't know which enum from ExampleClass to use so I need to be able to get the enum in Exampleclass through its name at runtime.

So, my question in short is a follows: Is there a way for me to get the enum by its name if it's in a different class?

Answer 1

Yes.

public class MyClass
{
    public enum MyEnum
    {

    }
}

Type enu = typeof(MyClass).GetNestedType("MyEnum");

By using GetNestedType .

Note that then you'll have to use it through reflection.
