Which is the better way to avoid magic string keys? Using string const keys in a class or using enumeration?
- by user596314
My idea is to avoid magic string keys in my Asp.Net MVC application.
To do so, I want to create string constant keys to be shared in the application.
For example, I can write TempData[MyClass.Message] or TempData[MyEnum.Message.ToString()] instead of TempData["Message"].
public class MyClass
{
public const string Message = "Message";
}
and
public enum MyEnum
{
Message,
Others
}
My questions are: Which is the better way to avoid magic string keys? Using string const keys in a class or using enumeration together with ToString()?
