How to iterate over and Enum?

Hi,
Is it possible to iterate over and enumerated type in C#?
If so please can you paste a simple exampel up that covers the whole
process.

Thanks

Do you mean as in:
// enumerate values, finding names
foreach(MyEnum value in Enum.GetValues( typeof(MyEnum)) ) {
// or ToString()?
string name = Enum.GetName(ty peof(MyEnum), value);
// do something
}
// enumerate names, finding values
foreach (string name in Enum.GetNames(t ypeof(MyEnum))) {
MyEnum value = (MyEnum) Enum.Parse(type of(MyEnum), name);
// do something
}
