Hello,

 I have a class that contains an enumeration and I would like to bind
the members of the enumerations to a drop down list box. If have seen
some examples that use Enum.GetNames and Enum.GetValues but when ever I
pass the name of my enumeration I get an error. Let me illustrate.

--- VB.NET Code ----------

Public Class Phone

   Public Enum PhoneNumberType
     Home = 1
     Work = 2
     Mobile = 3
     Fax = 4
     Pager = 5
   End Enum

End Class

--- ASP.NET Code -------

dropDownListBox.DataSource =
System.Enum.GetValues(Phone.PhoneNumberType)

It's here that I get an error. "PhoneNumberType is a type in Phone and
cannot be used as an expression". Any guess on what I might be doing
wrong? Thanks.
