retrieving the XmlEnumAttribute and the enum-values (2)

This post is a followup to the thread "retrieving the XmlEnumAttribute values
for an Enum" in this same forum earlier this month, since my last query in
that thread went unanswered.

I have an enum defined (DotNet v2) as
public enum velocityUom
{ [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlEnumAttribute("m/s")]
ms = 21,

[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlEnumAttribute("cm/a")]
cma,

...
}

My original post was to ask how I could retrieve the XmlEnumAttribute values
for this Enum so that I could create a combo box with values like "m/s",
"cm/a", ... so that I don't have to hard-code the XML-enum values in my code.

Oleg Tkachenko answered with the following solution
Type enumType = typeof(velocityUom);
foreach (FieldInfo fi in enumType.GetFields())
{ object[] attrs = fi.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(XmlEnumAttribute),
false);
if (attrs.Length > 0)
{ Console.WriteLine(((XmlEnumAttribute)attrs[0]).Name);
}
}

My question is, while looping through the FieldInfo to get the string
XMLEnumAttributes, is it possible to retrieve the corresponding enumerated
(int) value for each string?

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Edward Clements
