how to create a property with drop options???

[Lucas Sain]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a property in a class that should be apepar as
dropdown combo at design time with X options. Something like the
WindowStateProp erty where you can select 3 options. How can this be done
I've tried several ways but can't get it to work. Whta am I doing wrong?.
This is what I have in the class

private ComboBox fieldType= new ComboBox();
private DataTable dtFieldType;
loadCombo();
[
DesignerSeriali zationVisibilit y(DesignerSeria lizationVisibil ity.Content),
Editor(typeof(S ystem.Component Model.Design.Co llectionEditor) ,
typeof(System.D rawing.Design.U ITypeEditor)),
Description("Ty pe you want to display")
]
public ComboBox FieldType
{
get
{
return dtFieldType;
}
set
{
dtFieldType= value;
}
}

private LoadCombo()
{
this.dtFieldTyp e= new DataTable();
this.dtFieldTyp e.Columns.Add(" Type");
//=============== =============== ==============
DataRow drFieldType = dtFieldType.New Row();
drFieldType ["Type"] = "String";
dtFieldType.Row s.Add(drFieldTy pe);
//=============== =============== ==============
drFieldType = dtFieldType.New Row();
drFieldType ["Type"] = "Date";
this.dtFieldTyp e.Rows.Add(drFi eldType);
//=============== =============== ==============
drFieldType = dtFieldType.New Row();
drFieldType ["Type"] = "Numeric";
this.dtFieldTyp e.Rows.Add(drFi eldType);
//===
tipoCampo.DataS ource = this.dtFieldTyp e;
tipoCampo.Displ ayMember = "Type";
tipoCampo.Value Member = "Type";
}
The combo does show up in Design time but no options are present.

Help is really appreciated

I got it to work. I forgot about enumerators and they did the trick.
