enum Response
{
    Yes = 1,

    Maybe = 3
}

How can I bind this enum to a DropDow

Answer 1

This is my solution for Order an Enum and DataBind(Text and Value)to Dropdown using LINQ

var mylist = Enum.GetValues(typeof(MyEnum)).Cast().ToList().OrderBy(l => l.ToString());
foreach (MyEnum item in mylist)
    ddlDivisao.Items.Add(new ListItem(item.ToString(), ((int)item).ToString()));
