Return String list from a type instead Enum list in C# Asp Net Core

Question

I have a type Camp that returns a string list and the bellow code validates using enum, I need to make this returns a list of strings and I can't use enum in this case.

How do I do it?

public string getChampionships()
{
    string[] enumNames = Enum.GetNames(typeof(Camp)); 
    Dictionary<string, int> dic = new Dictionary<string, int>();
    Array.ForEach(enumNames, val => dic[val] = (int)Enum.Parse(typeof(Camp), val));
    return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(dic);
}

Answer 1

Since Enum.GetNames(typeof(Camp)); returns an array of strings, just go ToList .

public IList<string> getChampionships()
{
     return Enum.GetNames(typeof(Camp)).ToList(); 
}

if your are trying to create some type of map IDictionary<string,int> then your method would look something like this.

public IDictionary<string,int> getChampionships()
{
     return Enum.GetNames(typeof(Camp))
                .ToDictionary(item => item, item => (int)Enum.Parse(typeof(Camp), item)); 
}
