Hi All,
I have a class and one property is an Enum. I am trying to persist the
DropDownList.SelectedValue to the class property.
I am using
job.ExpRelated =
Enum.ToObject(typeof(ExperienceRelated),ddlExpRela ted.SelectedValue);
but it doesn't build. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks All,
~CK 8 1577
Do you get an error?
Break it into pieces...hard-code SelectedValue etc until you find why it
isn't working

I am sorry. I am a beginner. I am not quite sure what you mean.
How do I do that?

Instead of ddlExpRelated.SelectedValue, hard-code a specific value.
Did you copy this code? Beginners generally don't know about Enum's and
typeof...
start with Job.ExpRelated = value
then add pieces in one at a time to see where it's failing
And post your error message

Try this:
job.ExpRelated = (ExpRelated)
Enum.ToObject(typeof(ExperienceRelated),ddlExpRela ted.SelectedValue);
Hope that works.

Well this works.
job.ExpRelated = ExperienceRelated.Directly;
I basically wanted to grab the value from the dropdown and cast it as an
Enum.
Any ideas? I can't give you an error as it doesn't compile. The compiler
gives me a typecasting error.
E:\Web Projects\EmploymentSolution\Employment\AppEmployme ntCtl.ascx.cs(390):
Cannot implicitly convert type 'object' to
'Employment.Library.ExperienceRelated'

Your initial statement is basically converting it to an object. Assuming the
assignment works correctly all you needed to do a type cast to
ExperienceRelated.
Updated statement:
job.ExpRelated = (ExperienceRelated)
Enum.ToObject(typeof(ExperienceRelated),ddlExpRela ted.SelectedValue);

You just gave me the error. Do as the error suggests?

I get:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object
when I use:
(ExperienceRelated)Enum.ToObject(typeof(Experience Related),ddlExpRelated.SelectedValue);
and I get:
E:\Web Projects\EmploymentSolution\Employment\AppEmployme ntCtl.ascx.cs(390):
The type or namespace name 'ExpRelated' could not be found (are you missing
a using directive or an assembly reference?)
when I use:
(ExpRelated)Enum.ToObject(typeof(ExperienceRelated ),ddlExpRelated.SelectedValue);
Any other ideas anyone? I know this should be doable.
Thanks,
~CK
