The following examples, under different development environments, show how to use enumerated types in your code.

 

Microsoft Visual Basic.NET

Microsoft Visual C#.NET

 

 

Microsoft Visual Basic.NET

 

After typing the code

 

If m_audioSoundEditorApi.LastError

 

press the "=" key on your keyboard: IntelliSense displays the list box of possible values that can be assigned to a parameter passed to a method or to a property as seen on the screenshot below:

 

asoednet_i000091

 

Select the AudioSoundEditor.enumErrorCodes.ERR_NOERROR value so the complete line of code will be:

 

If m_audioSoundEditorApi.LastError = AudioSoundEditor.enumErrorCodes.ERR_NOERROR Then

 ' do something

 ...

Else

 ' do something else

 ...

End If

 

 

Microsoft Visual C#.NET

 

This environment requires a couple of additional lines of code to make use of Intellisense. First, you must add the components namespace to your code so the following line must be inserted at the beginning of the form management file:

 

using AudioSoundEditor;

 

After typing the code...

 

if (m_audioSoundEditorApi.LastError == enumErrorCodes

 

press the "." key on your keyboard. Note that to use Intellisense, you must add enumErrorCodes after the equal sign in order to trigger the enumErrorCodes enumerated type. After typing a period, Intellisense is activated.

 

asoednet_i000090

 

Select the ERR_NOERROR value so the complete line of code will be:

 

if (m_audioSoundEditorApi.LastError == enumErrorCodes.ERR_NOERROR)

   // do something

   ....

else

   // do something else

   ....
