CustomOptions

[Obsolete("CustomOptions are obsolete. Use the GetOptions() method.")]
public CustomOptions CustomOptions { get; }

The (possibly empty) set of custom options for this enum.

Property Value
Type	Description

Name

public override string Name { get; }

The brief name of the descriptor's target.

Property Value

Methods

FindValueByName(string)

public EnumValueDescriptor FindValueByName(string name)

Finds an enum value by name.

Parameter
Name	Description
name	string The unqualified name of the value (e.g. "FOO").

Returns
Type	Description
EnumValueDescriptor	The value's descriptor, or null if not found.

FindValueByNumber(int)

public EnumValueDescriptor FindValueByNumber(int number)

Finds an enum value by number. If multiple enum values have the same number, this returns the first defined value with that number. If there is no value for the given number, this returns null.

Parameter
Name	Description
number	int

Returns
Type	Description
EnumValueDescriptor

GetOption<T>(Extension<EnumOptions, T>)

[Obsolete("GetOption is obsolete. Use the GetOptions() method.")]
public T GetOption<T>(Extension<EnumOptions, T> extension)

Gets a single value enum option for this descriptor

Parameter
Name	Description
extension	ExtensionEnumOptions

Returns
Type	Description
T

Type Parameter
Name	Description
T

GetOption<T>(RepeatedExtension<EnumOptions, T>)

[Obsolete("GetOption is obsolete. Use the GetOptions() method.")]
public RepeatedField<T> GetOption<T>(RepeatedExtension<EnumOptions, T> extension)

Gets a repeated value enum option for this descriptor

Parameter
Name	Description
extension	RepeatedExtensionEnumOptions

Returns
Type	Description
RepeatedField

Type Parameter
Name	Description
T

GetOptions()

public EnumOptions GetOptions()

The EnumOptions, defined in descriptor.proto. If the options message is not present (i.e. there are no options), null is returned. Custom options can be retrieved as extensions of the returned message. NOTE: A defensive copy is created each time this property is retrieved.

Returns
Type	Description
EnumOptions

ToProto()

public EnumDescriptorProto ToProto()

Returns a clone of the underlying EnumDescriptorProto describing this enum. Note that a copy is taken every time this method is called, so clients using it frequently (and not modifying it) may want to cache the returned value.

Returns
Type	Description
EnumDescriptorProto	A protobuf representation of this enum descriptor.
