Define String ENUM in VB.Net

Question

I am using Window Application for my project. There is situation where i need to define string enum and using it in my project.

i.e.

Dim PersonalInfo         


        

Answer 1

How can i get this value using ENUM? or anyother way to do it.

There are three common ways of mapping enum values to strings:

• Use a Dictionary(Of YourEnumType, String)
• Decorate the enum values with attributes (e.g. DescriptionAttribute) and fetch them with reflection
• Use a Switch statement

The first of these options is probably the simplest, in my view.
