title: C# Dash (-) in String Enum
body: <p>I'm creating an enum for a field in a Class and I need one of the values to be <code>Start-up</code>. However, when I type this, I get an error <code>} expected</code>. StartUp, on the other hand, is allowed but I really need the dash to be in there..</p>
  
  <p>I also have other fields with the same problem for spaces..</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know of a way that I can get the value as shown above?</p>
  
  <p>Code Example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>using System;
  
  namespace XMLConverter.Models
  {
      public enum SiteStatus { Hold, Planned, Proposed, Qualifying, StartUp, Open, Enrollment Complete, Closed, Stopped, Not Selected, Withdrew }
  
      public class Site
      {
          public string StudyName { get; set; }
          public string SiteNumber { get; set; }
          public string SiteName { get; set; }
          public SiteStatus SiteStatus { get; set; }
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
