We have one enum
enum ContractType
{
Permanent = 1,
Contract = 2,
Internship = 99
}
Below function for convert enum to hashtable
public static Hashtable BindToEnum(Type enumType)
{
// get the names from the enumeration
string[] names = Enum.GetNames(enumType);
// get the values from the enumeration
Array values = Enum.GetValues(enumType);
// turn it into a hash table
Hashtable ht = new Hashtable();
for (int i = 0; i < names.Length; i++)
// note the cast to integer here is important
// otherwise we'll just get the enum string back again
ht.Add(names[i], (int)values.GetValue(i));
// return the dictionary to be bound to
return ht;
}
Now we can direct call above function for convert enum to hashtable and use for dropdown bind.
MyDropDownList.DataSource = BindToEnum(typeof(ContractType));
Hope you will help above code !!
