How do i show enum values in a combo-box?

Question

How do i show enum values in a combo-box? The code below result in the combobox having all displayed names being \"caseHandler.cState\". I wanted it to have the actual names

Answer 1

The Enum

public enum Status { Active = 0, Canceled = 3 }; 

Setting the drop down values from it

cbStatus.DataSource = Enum.GetValues(typeof(Status));

Getting the enum from the selected item

Status status; 
Enum.TryParse(cbStatus.SelectedValue.ToString(), out status);
