In C#, is it possible to decorate an Enum type with an attribute or do something else to specify what the default value should be, without having the change the values? The numbers required might be set in stone for whatever reason, and it'd be handy to still have control over the default.
enum Orientation
{
None = -1,
North = 0,
East = 1,
South = 2,
West = 3
}
Orientation o; // Is 'North' by default.
