enum flags

[kobi7]

Hi!
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
I can't find the someEnum.hasFlag(flag) method, that is available in .net 4.

is there a ref I need to add?
is System.Core and cobra.core the same?

thanks for the help

Cobra does not currently pick up on .hasFlag. You can use the bitwise and-operator (&) to test flags, same as in most languages and documented here:

http://cobra-language.com/trac/cobra/wiki/Enum

if someThing & Thing.Foo, print 'test passed'

Thanks Charles.
I thought cobra has full interoperability with the .net library.. that was the misunderstanding.
some usings are auto-loaded in C# (System, I think)
so my thinking was that Enum is hiding there, while in cobra I should be explicit with "use" in order to have it.

can you clarify on that regard? thanks!

oh, I now read what you pointed to.
so you built flag checking into the language - very nice!
hurray to less cryptic syntax
