rblPayType.SelectedValue = Enum.GetName(typeof(PaymentType),

PaymentType.Undefined.ToString() will do the same.

rblPayType.SelectedValue = (string)PaymentType.Undefined;

No, it will not.

Hi Pavel,

I never tried it like I suggested. I have always used the enum as an int, by
using it as (int)MyEnum.MyEnumValue.

If I wanted a string out, my next logical would have been to try
(string)MyEnum.MyEnumValue (because the int cast works) and if that didn't
work, do the ToString() method.

Even though I have been writing C# for 5 years and vbscript for another 7,
there are still things I have not done or tried. I would just experiment to
see what worked.

i know tried that. I don't really mind the verbosity that much, but for the
sake of "Art" it'd be cool

 

[YankeeImperialistDog]

the cast is the "native way" to get the value. I may try to extend enum some
day for the fun of it. Maybe overload the tostring method or something.

 

[YankeeImperialistDog]

i'm too much, real bad day or something PaymentType.Undefined.ToString();
WORKS!!!!!!!

ok, i'll take this on on the chin and deserve it!
