Comparing Enumeration Values with CompareTo()

using System;
   
public class MainClass
{
    public enum Color
    {
        Red = 0,
        Orange,
        Yellow,
        Green,
        Blue,
        Indigo,
        Violet
    }
   
    static void Main()
    {
        Color MyColor;
   
        MyColor = Color.Green;
        Console.WriteLine("{0}", MyColor.rupareTo(Color.Red)); 
        Console.WriteLine("{0}", MyColor.rupareTo(Color.Green)); 
        Console.WriteLine("{0}", MyColor.rupareTo(Color.Violet)); 
    }
}

Define Enums

enum Colors
{
    red,
    green,
    blue
}

Retrieving an Enumeration Name with GetName()

using System;
   
public enum LegalDoorStates
{
    DoorStateOpen,
    DoorStateClosed
}
   
class DoorController
{
    private LegalDoorStates CurrentState;
   
    public LegalDoorStates State
    {
        get
        {
            return CurrentState;
        }
   
        set
        {
            CurrentState = value;
        }
    }
}
   
class MainClass
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        DoorController  Door;
        string          EnumName;
   
        Door = new DoorController();
   
        Door.State = LegalDoorStates.DoorStateOpen;
        EnumName = LegalDoorStates.GetName(typeof(LegalDoorStates), Door.State);
        Console.WriteLine(EnumName);
    }
}

Using the LegalDoorStates Enumeration

public enum LegalDoorStates
{
    DoorStateOpen,
    DoorStateClosed
}
   
class DoorController
{
    private LegalDoorStates CurrentState;
   
    public LegalDoorStates State
    {
        get
        {
            return CurrentState;
        }
   
        set
        {
            CurrentState = value;
        }
    }
}
   
class MainClass
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        DoorController Door;
   
        Door = new DoorController();
   
        Door.State = LegalDoorStates.DoorStateOpen;
    }
}
