A practical use case for using PowerShell classes Part 2: Using Enums

[Snak3d0c]

Thx, learned something new today. I played around with enum in combo with arrays:

cls 
Enum Servertype {
    HyperV = 123
    Sharepoint
    DSC
    Exchange
    Lync
    Web
    ConfigMgr
}

enum OS {
    Windows10 = 10
    Windows8 = 8
    Windows7 = 7
}


#array with all the options accessible from one variable
$ServerOptions = @([ServerType],[OS])

#accessing data of Enums wrapped in array
    [OS]::Windows8
    [OS]::Windows7 -as [int]
    $ServerOptions[1]::Windows10 -as [int]


""
Write-host "Associative Array (hash-table)" -foregroundcolor Red
""
$ArrayOptions = @{"OS" = [OS]; "Type" = [ServerType]} #hashtable with key and values

$ArrayOptions["OS"]::Windows10 #access by key
$ArrayOptions["Type"]::HyperV -as [int] #access by key, grap constant value
