How to Bind Enum Types to the DropDownList?

Question

If I have the following enum

public enum EmployeeType
{
    Manager = 1,
    TeamLeader,
    Senior,
    Junior
}

and I have DropDownList

Answer 1

Here is another approach:

Array itemNames = System.Enum.GetNames(typeof(EmployeeType));
foreach (String name in itemNames)
{
    //get the enum item value
    Int32 value = (Int32)Enum.Parse(typeof(EmployeeType), name);
    ListItem listItem = new ListItem(name, value.ToString());
    ddlEnumBind.Items.Add(listItem);
}

i used this link to do it:
