This is a really nice little feature.
If we have an enumerator, say:
public enum MyEnumerator { Oranges, Apples, Hedgehogs, Laptops, Budgies, Other }
Having a form with a ComboBox called comboBox1, put this in the constructor/form load etc:
this.comboBox1.DataSource = Enum.GetValues(typeof(MyEnumerator));
This fills the combobox with the values. To convert the current combobox value back into the enumerator’s value:
MyEnumerator selected = (MyEnumerator)this.comboBox1.SelectedValue;

Hey ,
U can get the Enum value directly as follows
public enum MyEnumerator {
Oranges=0, Apples=1, Hedgehogs=2, Laptops=3, Budgies=4, Other=5 }
int myVariable =(int) (MyEnumerator)this.comboBox1.SelectedValue;
lblTest.Text=”"+myVariable;
cheers
Thanks Man!!
