How do I get an enum value in Custom BO?

How do I get an enumeration into my Custom BO.

We took the plunge and purchased Sharp-Shooter. We are now utilizing Crystal and SS which replaced ActiveReports. Great move! Now I am trying to display an Enumeration value in the Custom Report BO?

How do do that?

Thanks Much

Are you just wanting to show the text representation of the enumeration on the report? I assume that is what you are getting at. In this case, if you are tagging each enum item with the MicroFour.StrataFrame.Tools.EnumDisplayValue("MyValue") (which I recommend) then you can call the following code:

MicroFour.StrataFrame.Tools.Common.GetEnumDisplayValue(MyBO.MyEnumField)

In a report scenario, it would most likely be easiest to create a custom property to expose this. Let me know if this isn't what you were getting at.

Thanks Trent,

I also found an excellent example in the Flix Application. I should have gone there before posting this.
