How to get the typecode for enum in C#?

Enum.GetTypeCode Method is used to get the type code of the underlying type of this enumeration member.

Syntax:

public TypeCode GetTypeCode ();

Returns: This method returns type code of the underlying type of this instance.

Exception: This method will give InvalidOperationException if the enumeration type is unknown.

Example:

// C# program to illustrate the
// Enum.GetTypeCode() Method
using System;

class GFG {

    enum Color {Blue, Black };

    // Main Method
    public static void Main(String[] args)
    {
        Color c1 = Color.Blue;
        Console.Write("TypeCode of Enum Constant " + c1 + " : ");

        // Using the GetTypeCode() Method
        Console.WriteLine(c1.GetTypeCode());

        Color c2 = Color.Black;
        Console.Write("TypeCode of Enum Constant " + c2 + " : ");

        // Using the GetTypeCode Method
        Console.WriteLine(c2.GetTypeCode());
    }
}

Output:

TypeCode of Enum Constant Blue : Int32
TypeCode of Enum Constant Black : Int32
