>Things that are worth putting into enums are usually switch'd on at some point and the autocomplete is very handy.Thanks ... even though there obviously things I still don't know. <g> I use enums frequently, so this is a handy tip to know about!

>>>>Hi Einar, I like the sound of switch on enum - could you post a code snippet ?
>>>
>>>Define the enum:
>>>
>>>private enum Days { Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday };
>>>
>>>Which is short for:
>>>
>>>private enum Days : int
>>> {
>>> Sunday = 0,
>>> Monday = 1,
>>> Tuesday = 2,
>>> Wednesday = 3,
>>> Thursday = 4,
>>> Friday = 5,
>>> Saturday = 6
>>> };
>>>
>>>
>>>The trype switch and and press tab , then type in the variable that is that enum type and press enter. Auto complete fills out the following for you:
>>>
>>>Days days = Days.Friday;
>>> switch (days)
>>> {
>>> case Days.Sunday:
>>> break;
>>> case Days.Monday:
>>> break;
>>> case Days.Tuesday:
>>> break;
>>> case Days.Wednesday:
>>> break;
>>> case Days.Thursday:
>>> break;
>>> case Days.Friday:
>>> break;
>>> case Days.Saturday:
>>> break;
>>> default:
>>> break;
>>> }
