How to change the type of enumeration?

Question

By default, C # enums are stored as integers. I would like to make it shorter. Is there any way to do this?

Answer 1

Of course, this can be done, but it must be an integral type (byte, short, int, etc.), except for char ...

enum myEnum : short
{
    FirstValue = 0,
};

here are the MSDN docs

Answer 2

Like this:

enum MyEnum : short
{
  ...
}
