C# enum

[nopz]

Hi there,

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and I don't understand how enum cast work?

When i create an Enum like this:

public Enum offsets : uint {
BASE = 0x00AA,
};

I have to cast offsets.BASE to an uint again. This is so strange according to that thread (C# Station: C# Tutorial Lesson 17 - Enums).

So an Enum is actually considered as a int even if i cast to uint..

No, the default type of an enum is an int, unless you specify otherwise(which you did, uint). You still have to explicit cast the enum type to a uint.
