Walking through Enum entries in C#

Sometimes the need appears in make foreach() construction for Enum entries. Here I'll show how to do it.



Type theType = typeof(MyEnum);
MemberInfo[] theMembers = theType.GetMembers();

foreach (MemberInfo entry in theMembers)
{
if ((entry.MemberType.ToString() == "Field"))
if((entry.Name != "value__"))
{
MyEnum theTyp = (MyEnum)Enum.Parse(typeof(MyEnum), entry.Name);
}
}


As earlier I'm trying to present finished solutions ready to use in your own projects. :)

if(-not(vrIsRegistryPathContainsKey $basePath $pathToken))

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel reference isn't resolved

For .net developers which works with MS Office interop, maybe following information would seem useful. Did you happen to face with unresolved Office Interop references?
Each time as I saw this strange phenomena I would need some magic to resolve the problem.
Mostly the reason hides in conflicting of different asseblies references. In this case usually it's better to remove all unresolved references and add each new assembly refererence step-by-step checking conflict absence.
