That's interesting. Are you having problems with that? – Andrew Cooper Mar 22 '11 at 05:59 — Andrew Cooper, Mar 22 '11 at 05:59

Yes its possible. Check the Question: How do you bind an Enum to a DropDownList control in ASP.NET?

It only works if the names are simple strings with no spaces and if the values are integers. His example breaks both. – Jonas Elfström Mar 22 '11 at 07:01

No, you don't because you can't. An enum must be of an integral type and a name of a keyword can't be 0 or have a space in it's name so it's impossible to convert them to a string to reach your goal. Converting the keyword to a string is also not something I recommend.
