I created an new enum and want to assign it to one of my fields. (I've done this many times in the past...pre 1.6).  I perform a search in the custom data type fields but it doesn't return anything. I have a number of existing enums and just added a new one. I tried again and it crashed visual studio with Out of Memory errors.  I restarted and tried again but it doesn't seem to find anything and/or crashes again.

I can manually enter the enum name 'enum_CRMRoleType'. I then rebuild the partial class but when I rebuild the project I get an error 'Type enum_CRMRoleType' is not defined.

I haven't created an enum in a while but it did work a while back.

Any ideas as to why it can't find my enums?

Thanks,

I was able to finally get the code working. I used the wrong property the first time I tried. When I get some time I will try to reproduce in a small project.

One other strange thing I noticed with custom data types.  Select Case doesn't seem to evaluate the data type. I had to change everything to If's.  Have you every run across this before?

Thanks

Depends on the type of value you are testing on.  If you are testing a reference type then you may have to use an if/elseif.  However, if you use any type of value type (i.e. integer) then you can always go with select case.

On a custom data type, did you override the System.Object.Equals(object obj) method on your custom type?  I think that's what a Select Case evaluates when comparing the value in the select with the values in the case.
