Large flags enumerations in C#

Why not just do:

public enum MyEnumeration : ulong 
{ 
    Flag1 = 1, 
    Flag2 = 1 << 1, 
    Flag3 = 1 << 2, 
    Flag4 = 1 << 3, 
    .
    .
    .
    Flag30 = 1 << 29, 
    Flag31 = 1 << 30, 
    Flag32 = 1 << 31
}

You could write a T4 template to generate the enum :

Template (MyEnumeration.tt)

<#@ template language="C#" #>
<#@ output extension=".cs" #>
using System;

namespace MyNamespace
{
    [Flags]
    public enum MyEnumeration : ulong
    {
<#
    ulong value = 1;
    for(int i = 1; i <= 64; i++)
    {
#>
        Flag<#= i #> = <#= string.Format("0x{0:X8}", value) #>,
<#
        value = value << 1;
    }
#>
    }
}

Resulting C# code (MyEnumeration.cs)

using System;

namespace MyNamespace
{
    [Flags]
    public enum MyEnumeration : ulong
    {
        Flag1 = 0x00000001,
        Flag2 = 0x00000002,
        Flag3 = 0x00000004,
        Flag4 = 0x00000008,

        Flag14 = 0x00002000,
        Flag15 = 0x00004000,
        Flag16 = 0x00008000,
        Flag17 = 0x00010000,
        Flag18 = 0x00020000,
        Flag19 = 0x00040000,

        Flag64 = 0x8000000000000000,
    }
}

In order to edit T4 templates, I recommend you use a T4 editor plugin like this one (this gives you syntax highlighting and Intellisense)

Use 1UL like this

[Flags]    
    public enum EventType : ulong
    {
        f1= 1,
        f2= 1 << 1,
        f3= 1 << 2,
        ......

        f... = 1 << 30,
        f... = 1UL << 31,
        f...  = 1UL << 32        
    }
