I don't want Enum, what else?

[jeff357]

I have a bunch of combos loaded from a database. When I check the value of the combo to do something I don't want to do this.

Public Enum enSurfaceType
Asphalt = 0
Gravel = 1
End Enum

if cboSurfaceType.SelectedIndex = enSurfaceType.Asphalt then

or if cboSurfaceType.SelectedIndex = 0 then
...............

What else can I do so I don't have to hard code all these Enums for each combo box?

THX

Why is declaring the enumerated types a problem?

constants, variables, arrays...

what are you trying to accomplish?
