Typcasting an enum to an int
I have an enum type that starts at 0 and goes up, andit matches integer values in a table. So I need to convert the enum to an int.
What's a safe way to to this?
Is it as easy as:
public enum MyEnumValues
{
myFirstVal=0,
mySecondsVal,
}
int mappedValue = (int)MyEnumValues.mySecond
I want mappedValue to be 1. Will this be the case as coded? How else can I code this?
thanks,

And I got carried away, disregard what I said about float. Enums cannot be based on float. They can only be based on integral types: int, short, etc. They may be based on any integral type except char.
