      If you need to, then you should probably use the one enum in both cases. you have two options: 1 - cast both to int, if you can make the int values correlate ( but then just use the one enum ) 2 - write a method that applies whatever comparison rules you need, by hand.

            Good question i have put small exmaple here public enum Named : int { A, B, C, D } public enum Names : byte { A, B, C, D } check if (Enum.Equals(typeof(Named),typeof(Names))) { //type is equal } thanks you

              OK - so does that compare based on enum name, or their intrinsic int value ?

                  No, I've never seen this before, I would think that comparing two different enums is a bad design, I'm curious how it would work.

                      I am saying I've never used it, I was curious how it works, although I'd never use it, personally.

                          You're trying to compare the types to each other. The enum Equals takes two enum values.
