Does anyone know if its possible to use an enum structure as a data source
for a combo box or list box. if not, is it possible to enumerate an enum and
list it values

Thanks in advance
 
I'm not sure about using an enum as a data source, but you can get its
values and names using the static methods Enum.GetNames and
Enum.GetValues
