How to iterate through an enum in C#?

Question

I want to iterate through an enum so I can call a method with each value of that enum. How can I do that?

enum Base { ANC, BTC, DGC };

XmlDocument doc;

doc = vircurex.get_lowest_ask(Base.ANC)
doc = vircurex.get_lowest_ask(Base.BTC)
doc = vircurex.get_lowest_ask(Base.DGC)

I want it instead to be something like

foreach (var val in values)
   doc = vircurex.get_lowest_ask(....)

Is there a way to do this?

Try

foreach(var base in Enum.GetValues(typeof(Base)).Cast<Base>()) 
{
    doc = vircurex.get_lowest_ask(base)
}
