While the EnumSeparatePascalCase handles many situations it would be nice to be able to specify a substitution character like an underscore that could be used to insert spaces when displaying a enum. For example in our organization all departments are represented by a three character abbreviation and I have an enum that looks like:

 

Public Enum UserType

    HRA_Employee  

    HSA_Employee  

    Other_County_Employee  

    Community_Partner  

    Contractor  

    Vendor  

End Enum

 

Since I can’t separate all of them on PascalCase I end up inserting underscores. This works but it would make the application cleaner if I could easily eliminate the underscores when displaying the information.

Hi,

How could I preserve the order of my enum list (may be by its value instead of alphabetic order)?



Thank you

If you are loading the enum into a combo, then you can either turn off the Sorted property so it will be in natural order, or you can change the sort to go by the value rather than the text.
