Assigning Default value to Enum Variable

[Lucky]

Hi guys,

i was working with Enum and one Question strike, i thought it would be
good idea to ask more experience guys around.

the scenerio is like this :

[System.Componen tModel.DefaultV alue(check.None )]
public enum check
{
No,
None,
yes,
why
}

check ch;


all i want to know is, is it possible to assign default value
(like .net value type has NULL as default value) this way?
and if not this way and u know another way of doing it plz let me
know.

by another way i dont mean like this

check ch=check.None;


i mean it should be like the way i declared on the top.

i would appriciate all your opinon on this.

thanks,

Lucky

Re: Assigning Default value to Enum Variable

Use explicit values to get default(T) behaviour, with the 0 item being
the default.

However, defaults (in [DefaultValue] terms) apply to individual
properties, not type-defs - so you can still specify a default of
"yes", "No" or whatever for each property.

.... or 'Nothing' in VB.
