c# - Class design: Access two keys as properties using a constant? -

now:

2 classes each same constant name, e.g. err123

class1 got public const int err123 = 123;

class2 got public const string err123 = "error 123, went wrong.";

so phone call

int code = class1.err123; string message = class2.err123;

i don't approach because need re-create constant names , touch 2 files when add/change something.

i'd access that:

int code = errors.subcategory1.err123.code; string message = errors.subcategory1.err123.message;

and declaration shouldn't inconvenient. possible? maybe using reflection-magic?

to descript message codes descriptions can utilize enum descrition attribute. get enum description attribute

c# reflection .net-3.5 class-design
