I can't remember what is the namespace/class that can be used to retrieve
all the members of an enum

Thank you,
Samuel

System.Enum

Option Explicit On
Option Strict On

Imports System

Module Module1
    Private Enum TestEnum
        one = 1
        two
        three
        four
    End Enum

    Sub Main()
        Dim names As String() = [Enum].GetNames(GetType(TestEnum))

        For Each valueName As String In names
            Console.WriteLine("{0} = {1}", valueName,
DirectCast([Enum].Parse(GetType(TestEnum), valueName), Integer))
        Next
    End Sub

End Module

HTH,
