Enumerations in C#.NET

Enum type is useful for storing the values. By using this, programmer can do his job very easier. Especially, this is useful for storing constant values globally or locally. we can call this constants as magic constants. This is distinct datatype which declares some named constants.

Example: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, .... etc.

Example Program: 
In this program we have list of weekDays having named constants. for the below program "http://aspnettutorialonline.blogspot.com/" will come as output.

    class Program
    {
        enum weekdDays
        {
            Sunday,

            Monday,
            Tuesday,
            Wednesday
        };
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            weekdDays today=weekdDays.Saturday;

            if (today == weekdDays.Monday)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("not fired");
            }
            if (today == weekdDays.Saturday)
            {
