Enum Problem

[shapper]

Hello,

I have a custom control property named "ImagePosition".
I need to have only two options available for this property: "Left" and
"Top".

How can I do this?

Thanks,
Miguel

My Code:
' ImagePosition
<Bindable(True), Category("Layout"), DefaultValue(""),
Localizable(True)> Property ImagePosition() As String
Get
Dim sImagePosition As String = CStr(ViewState("ImagePosition"))
If sImagePosition Is Nothing Then
Return String.Empty
Else
Return sImagePosition
End If
End Get

Set(ByVal Value As String)
ViewState("ImagePosition") = Value
End Set

End Property

First off, create the Enum declaration

public enum Position
{
Left = 1,
Top = 2
}

Then update your property to that datatype instead of a string.

public Position ImagePosition
{
get
{
object o = ViewState[this.ClientID + "_ImagePosition"];
if (o != null) //check if it was set
return (Position)o; //cast to correct type
else
return Position.Left; //default value
}
set
{
ViewState[this.ClientID + "_ImagePosition"] = value;
}
}

This is C# code.
