Usually these limitations are pretty minor (i.e. as TryParse is not available, I need to put a try-catch block around a regular Parse call). Today I stumbled over another unavailable method - Enum.GetNames(). The GetNames method is called when using Reflection to determine, at runtime, the elements in an enumeration. It took a bit of hunting and experimenting - but here's a Compact Framework-friendly method of achieving the same thing: C# Code:
It's pretty good that Reflection is included in the compact framework - but it's slightly surprising that they couldn't fit in the Enum.GetNames() method as well. # Posted in the Technical section and tagged as: .NET, XNA Comments (0) | Add Comment | Blog Search Recent Blogs Yeah ...
