enum and combobox

[Franky]

does anybody know how to use all values of an enumeration in a combobox?

i have an enum type defined like
public enum EnumTest
{
val1 = 1,
val2 = 2,
val4 = 4,
}

i would like to bind this to a combobox so that i can use 'val1' als the
displaymember of the combobox and the int as the valuemember.

any ideas?

thanks,
Dries

You can use Enum.GetNames to return the constants used. Also, use
Enum.GetValues to return the values.

Use a loop to iterate over and assign to your combobox.

Use a loop to iterate over and assign to your > combobox.

I think it can be done without the loop.
Look it up in the docs.

Yes, as long as it supports the IList interface, you can just databind the
array that is returned to the combobox.
