# Total number of items defined in an enum C#

I want to [count](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/157774/selecting-count-with-distinct) the number. How can I get the number of [items](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/33812/getting-number-of-items-selected-in-uicollectionview-in-ios) defined in an [enum](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/159626/how-can-i-cast-a-string-to-an-enum)?

```
enum MyEnum
{
    A = 1,
    B = 2,
    C = 1,
    D = 3,
    E = 2
}
```

For this You can use the static method Enum.GetNames \

var myEnumMemberCount = Enum.GetNames(typeof(MyEnum)).Length;
