  Error - The Name SrcType does not exist in the current context

  Jan 15, 2021 11:16 AM|jagjit saini|LINK

  Hi

  namespace Employee_Management.Models
  {
      public class Location
      {
  public void AddLocation(Location location)
          {
              SqlParameter[] ParamArr = new SqlParameter[5];
              ParamArr[0] = new SqlParameter("@Code", location.Code);
              ParamArr[1] = new SqlParameter("@Name", location.Name);
              ParamArr[2] = new SqlParameter("@Street", location.Street);
              ParamArr[3] = new SqlParameter("@City", location.City);
              ParamArr[4] = new SqlParameter("@Action", "I");
  
              objDal.RecordNavigation("sp_Location", ParamArr, SrcType.StoredProcedure);
          }
      }
  }
  
  
  namespace Employee_Management.Models
  {
      public class Common
      {
          SqlConnection Cnn;
          
          public enum SrcType
          {
              SqlQuery,
              StoredProcedure,
              Table
          }
  }
  }

  Thanks

  Hi,

  What if you try Common.SrcType.StoredProcedure?  Or consider moving the enum out of Common class?

  Hi PatricsSc

    When i write like this it works - Common.SrcType.StoredProcedure

  When i try like below it does not show SrcType after objCommon. Why is it so

  Common objCommon = new Common();

  objCommon

  Thanks

  An enum is just a way to easily give names to underlying constant integer values to enhance code clarity..

  It is unrelated to any particular instance of your Common class and so you can access it ionly through the class name (like for static members). as you declared this enum in a class.

  It doesn't have to be declared inside a class, You can declare  an enum directly in a namespace.

  Eidit; this is what they have done in ADO.NET ie https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.data.commandtype?view=net-5.0 is declared inisde the System.Data namespace.

  Or do you even need to declare your own enum rather thnan to just use this one?

  Hi PatriceSc

    U mean to say i can declare it like below :-

  namespace Employee_Management.Models
  {
      public enum SrcType
      {
          SqlQuery,
          StoredProcedure,
          Table
      }
      public enum Gender
      {
          Male,
          Female,
          Other
      }
      public class Common
      {
  public Common()
          {
              var configuration = GetConfiguration();
              Cnn = new SqlConnection(configuration.GetSection("CnnStrings").GetSection("Cnn1").Value);
          }
  }
  }

  Thanks
