Syntax
public sealed class EnumArgumentAttribute : BaseAttribute, IReadOnlyArgumentAttributeRemarks
Any enum can be used that follows the following rules. If any
of these rules are broken, the attribute will not validate,
and an exception will be thrown when the binding is attempted:
- The enum must contain at least one value within it.
Empty enums are not allowed.
- If
Required is set to false,
the enum must have a value set to 0. 0 is the default value
for an enum, and its the only way we can define a default enum value
with System.Attribute objects.

| DefaultValue | Enum |
The default value of the argument. This is set to the default
value of the enum, which is the value set to 0.
|
| Description | string |
Description of what the argument does.
Inherited from BaseAttribute
|
| HasSecretValue | bool |
Set to true if the value passed into the argument
should be hidden from any print-outs to the console.
Inherited from BaseAttribute
|
| IgnoreCase | bool |
When parsing the enum values, ignore all casing.
This is defaulted to false.
If this is set to true, and there are two enum values that, when casing is ignored,
match, a validation error will happen.
|
| Required | bool |
If the value is not specified, this will fail validation when this is set to true.
