Display enum in ComboBox with spaces

[Gerrit]

Hello,

I have an enum, example:

enum MyEnum
{
My_Value_1,
My_Value_2
}

With :

comboBox1.DataSource = Enum.GetValues(typeof(MyEnum));

I fill the ComboBox Items and with

DataGridViewComboBoxColumn col =
(DataGridViewComboBoxColumn)dataGridView1.Columns[0];
col.DataSource = Enum.GetValues(typeof(EnumNamen));

I can fill a DataBound DataGridViewComboBoxColumn with items.

But now my question: How can I replace the "_" with " " so that I became
items with spaces instead of underscores? And that a databound object still
works

Thanks a lot for your help

You could loop through all the elements, replace the "_", and insert them
into an array, and the databind to your array. For instance, like this:

Array a = Enum.GetValues(typeof(MyEnum));
string[] myValues = new string[a.Length];
for (int i=0; i<a.Length; i++)
{
myValues[i]=a.GetValue(i).ToString().Replace("_"," ");
}

If you are going to do many such conversions, you can experiment a little
bit and do the conversion in a single line by means of Array.ConvertAll(),
providing as an argument a Converter that you write separately to perform
the replacement.
