This class contains extension methods for Enum as a Generic Type

Remarks

X

Current version of C# does not allow extension methods 'generic types', hence these are static methods

EnumExtensions<TEnum>

public static class EnumExtensions<TEnum> where TEnum : IComparable, IFormattable, IConvertible
