I would like to create an enumeration that exposes a set of values that allow a client to select from a list a formatting options.
For example: DateRange scheduleEventsDateRange = new DateRange(args[0], args[1], DateTimeFormats.MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss <== client to select value from enum. I thought that it might be possible to use Unicode encoding to specify the characters that I would like displayed by Intellisense when the component is coded against. However, there are a couple of problematic characters when trying to generate an identifier in the form - MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss The backslash and I assume the whitespace. There appears to be an issue with the using a backslashes' Unicode representation as \u047. For example: public enum DateTimeFormats { \MM\u047dd\u047yyyy // and so on } Question1: Is there a way to make this work using an enum? Question2: Is there a better way to acheive the same result with another object or structure? =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentorŪ http://www.develop.com NEW!
