[C#] Enum with spaces?


Question

Has anyone ever been able to get an enum to compile with one of its values having a space in it?

ie:

private enum iTest
  {
 	 Food, Keys, Wife, Bath And Shower
  };

I have tried with single quotes, double quotes, parantheses, and square brackets around the value, and stilll no luck.

projects\consoleapplication1\class1.cs(12,27): error CS1513: } expected

projects\consoleapplication1\class1.cs(12,37): error CS1002: ; expected

projects\consoleapplication1\class1.cs(19,10): error CS1518: Expected class,

projects\consoleapplication1\class1.cs(19,27): error CS1001: Identifier expected

projects\consoleapplication1\class1.cs(19,29): error CS1518: Expected class, delegate, enum, interface, or struct

projects\consoleapplication1\class1.cs(26,1): error CS1022: Type or namespace definition, or end-of-file expected

(using VS.NET 2003 to compile)

Yah alright, makes sense now that I think about it.

What would be the easiest collection to iterate through, where I can refer to either an index or through teh value name?  ArrayList?

If you want to access elements through a value name, probably have a look at HashMaps.

The type in C# is called Hashtable, and that's exactly what it does. You can iterate through the collection to get what you want (the index approach) or you can refer to elements by names (if the keys are strings):

myHashList["Item1"]

    • From code to combat: Meta CTO calls for Silicon Valley involvement in military contracts by Hamid Ganji This week, Meta announced a partnership with the defense technology startup Anduril to build next-gen VR/AR extended reality headsets for the US military. Microsoft was given the contract in 2018, and the headsets were supposed to be built based on Microsoft HoloLens. Earlier this year, Microsoft gave up the entire project to Anduril but kept its role as the cloud services provider. Meta's Chief Technology Officer (CTO) is now calling for more Silicon Valley involvement in military contracts. Speaking at the Bloomberg Tech summit in San Francisco (via: Business Insider), Andrew Bosworth said the recent partnership between Meta, Anduril, and the US military could be a "return to grace" for Silicon Valley. "The Valley was founded on a three-way investment between the military, academics, and private industry. That was the founding of it," Bosworth said. Meta's CTO added that building VR/AR headsets for the US military doesn't turn the company into a defense contractor. He also said it was "way too early" to determine whether military contracts would become a business segment for Meta. "So far, it's like a zero. Let's start with one and go from there. I think there's no reason it couldn't be meaningful in the impact that it has," he added. The US military's desire for AI-powered tools and weapons has turned Big Tech into military contractors, whether willingly or unwillingly. Companies like Microsoft, Google, and Meta have a long history of providing services to the military and law enforcement agencies. The relationship between tech firms and the defense segment has always been controversial. In the most recent case, a group of Microsoft employees protested against the company's partnership with the Israeli military, which led to the layoff of the protesting staff.

    • The long-awaited Nothing Phone (3) is finally coming next month, launch date confirmed by Aditya Tiwari London-based consumer electronics brand Nothing is due to launch its latest flagship in 2025. The company dropped a new teaser for the Phone (3), revealing when the flagship device will be out on the market. Nothing Phone (3) will be unveiled during a live event on July 1 at 1:00 PM ET / 10:00 AM PT / 6:00 PM BST / 11:30 PM IST. It has already created a live event titled "Come to Play" on its official YouTube channel, for which you can add a reminder by clicking on the "Notify Me" button. Nothing CEO Carl Pei has previously dropped several details about the unreleased smartphone. He took part in a social media AMA earlier this year and said Nothing Phone (3) will arrive in the third quarter of 2025. Pei confirmed that Nothing Phone (3) will make its way to the US this time after a dry spell since 2023. However, he didn't specify whether the device will be sold directly or through the beta channel, which currently includes Phone (3a), Phone (3a) Pro, and CMF Phone 2 Pro. The US has been a rocky terrain for Nothing. Its first smartphone was made available through the beta channel, and the Nothing Phone (2) is the only smartphone from the company that has been widely available in the US. The Glyph interface featured on the back of Nothing smartphones has remained a differentiating factor from the start. However, the smartphone maker recently posted a 9-second video in which the Glyph lights on the back of a Nothing smartphone abruptly turn off. "We killed the Glyph Interface," the company said. It makes sense when you check out the Phone (3) teaser and see dot matrix-style lights being flashed in a pattern. Nothing released another teaser about a week ago, featuring the number 3 lit up as dot matrix LEDs. If you're looking for some trivia, Nothing product manager Raymond Zhu estimated in a Q&A video that the company would need to sell about 250,000 Phone (3) units to turn a profit. Answering another question, he added that their biggest weakness is "no one knows us", and the company is struggling to reach the masses without high marketing budgets. Let's wait to see what Nothing has in store for Phone (3) next month other than the new physical button. Speaking of the future of smartphones, the Nothing CEO believes that our entire software experience will eventually be condensed down to just one app.
