Dynamic enums

Show all headers | View raw

Let's say I have an ENUM defined as

public enum xxx {
  A, B, C, D, E
}

Now here's my question.
Let's say I have a table called foobar which has the following rows

A  1
B  2
C  3
D  4
E  5

My code is written and is working great.  The enum xxx is used as a
lookup on the foobar table.  If I add a row to foobar like

F  6

I need to add another enum to the xxx enum and rebuild my project.

So my question is, is there something like a dynamic enun:  by this
could I call a method on the xxx enum like

xxx.addnew("F") that would make F a valid enum of xxx and not have to
rebuild my project?
