DefaultValue attribute for a property with an enum type

[Johnny Jörgensen]

Does anybody know how to correctly specify the defaultvalue attribute for a
property whose type is an enum.

Example:

Public Enum TestValues
Value1=1
Value2=2
End Enum

<DefaultValue(TestValues.Value1)_
Public Property TestValue() As TestValues
'Get and set here
End Property

The above doesn't work. When the property has the defaultvalue, it is still
not considered default.

I also tried

<DefaultValue(GetType(TestValues), "Value1")_

But that doesn't work either....

What am I missing?

Can you just store the integer value of the enum? i.e use 1 for Value1
or 2 for Value2?

I don't know. The second form works for me. I have read that the
first form (DefaultValue(TestValues.Value1)) does not work in VS2005
VB.

Thanks.

<DefaultValue(GetType(TestValues), "Value1")_

is actually working now. I wasn't when I posted this before. Strange, but
not unusual for VS.

Cheers,
