Adding enum to combobox

Question

Hi may i know how to get the enum value below to bind into the combobox? I wrote the below code which works well but wonder is this the best way.

public enum Cou         


        

Answer 1

Following should be the simplest way to bind it.

column.DataSource = Enum.GetValues(typeof(CourseStudentStatus));

To get the selected value you need to cast it to the enum type.

CourseStudentStatus selectedValue = (CourseStudentStatus)column.SelectedValue

Enum.GetValues returns an array of the enumType values which can then be bound to any control.

I've tested this on a standalone combobox, not in a combobox column in DataGridView, YMMV.
