Loop through enums

[Syd]

Has anybody ever figured a way to automatically loop through an enum,
as if it were a collection? Here's an example of an enum we're using:

public enum TaskType
{
TaskRange = 1,
TaskSort = 2,
TaskScope = 3
}

And what we'd like to loop through each item in a for-each loop, since
we don't always know how many enums there are (without a human being
checking)...

TIA!

Take a look at the System.Enum class. In particular, System.Enum.GetNames
might help you out.
