VS 2010 Make An Enum Of Strings?
Feb 20, 2012
I would like to make an enum of strings. There are several masks for text boxes that I would like to standardize in our system.For simplicity lets say there are 2 masks:
"PhoneNumber" which is "(999)000-0000"
"Zip Code" which is "00000-9999"
I would like to be able to reference these through out the entire program in a manner such as:
DefaultMasks.ZipCode or DefaultMasks.PhoneNumber
Since enums can not be of string type, what would your best suggestions be as to how I could do this. I had thought about a class with constants in it but I was not sure how to implement that properly.

I have an object which contains a number of string properties and an enum property called CRAction.
I have another object which represents a collection of the above object.
When I bind the collection object to something like a gridview, all of the string properties bind fine, but the enum doesn't appear.
I have added another string property which returns CRAction.ToString, but is there a better way to make an enum bindable to a control as part of an object?
It all seems a little hackish to have another property for the same thing purely for data binding!

I'm trying to declare an enumeration and one of the names I'd like to use for an item is not usable apparently. Where I am declaring 'STEP = 3', I get this error message in visual studio: "Statement cannot appear within an Enum body. End of statement expected." Is it possible to use STEP as an item name somehow? [Code]

I know from .NET 3.5 onwards (or might be 3.0) we can use Exension Methods to add our own methods to any Type in the .NET Framework and this is very handy, but I'm wondering if it is possible to "extend" an Enum as well?

Is there an easy way to find a certain string within a string and then return the strings that you find as an array?I have written this:
Public Function FindStrings(ByVal strSourceString As String, ByVal strStartString As String, ByVal strEndString As String) As String()
Dim StringStartposition As Integer
Dim StringEndPosition As Integer
Dim Currentposition As Integer = 1

Which is better, using a nullable enum or adding the value None=0 to your enum list?Using nullables requires more code, but I kind of like it since it forces me to think about the possibility. Otherwise I'm liable to forget about the None enum and fail to account for it being a special case.

How to connect a combo box and an enum which is kept in another class? I have searched google a lot but the only solutions I can seem to find involve declaring an enum with the combo box. I however want to keep my enum elsewhere, not in the main gui element handling form. The closet thing I could guess was:
Combox99.DataSource = System.Enum.GetValues(GetType(MyBookList.OptionsList)
With MyBookList as a previously defined instance of the BookList class.

I am using Visual Studio 2010 Prof. In C# I can create my own Enumerator and use it like this:MyEnum value = Now, Intellisense will suggest a value of MyEnum. In VB, when I write:Dim value As MyEnum = I get a huge list of every types. When starting to write my enumerator value (could be a word like "sunny") it filters out some types but I would like to have it like in C#. Anyway I will use the MyEnum type and no "String nor Objecte nor IntPtr...".

I wanted to make a collection of definitions public, for which the Enum class was a perfect candidate, but I also had the need to check variables against all the possibile enum members to see which one they were.
In this scenario my solution was to write a public enum class in which all the members were made available, and replicate the same listing in an array in order to iterate through.
In fact the only way I know to iterate through all memebers is a cycle (either "for each" or "while somecondition" and a moving index). But I guess there must be a simpler way to make use of an enum class.

Say I have a List(Of Tag) with Tag being an object. One member of Tag, Tag.Description, is a string, and I want to make a comma-separated concatenation of the Description members.Is there an easier way to do this than to read the Description members into a List(Of String) and then use the Join function?

I am trying to make a program in Visual Basic which requires the use of 24-bit strings. However, I am not aware of a common name for them. I know that Byte is 8-bit, and Short is 16-bit, so is there a name for 24-bit?If not, then is there any way to combine a Byte and a Short to create the needed 24-bit value in my program?

Is there a way to use strings in Enums like the example below:
Enum myEnum
val1 = "some string 1"
val2 = "some string 2"
val3 = "some string etc"
End Enum
It seems like you can only use integers for the underlying values.

I guess my question has two parts:
1. My program has to read text out of a text file. I use some HTML tags to preserve the formatting. For example, I might have the line "this is a <b> line </b> of <b> text </b>" where "line" and "text" are bold. How do I make it so the string prints to a RichtextBox, but only "line" and "text" are bold? I would use a RichTextbox.SaveFile method, but the program works by reading a group of richtextboxes in a flowlayoutpanel and appending them to a single text file.
2. How would I extract the text from between two strings? For instance, I have created special tags for use in my program. These tags tell the program where to add controls. Say my string was:
"[IMG= "dog.jpg" /] this is a picture of a dog. [IMG= "cat.jpg"] this is a picture of a cat."
For each occurrence of the string "[IMG=", I would need it to find the corresponding "/]" and extract the text between the two. I could maybe do something with a substring function. I don't know.

Forgive me for the total noobness of the question which follows. I am preparing something extremely simple for a project at work. This part involves generation of new names, for stuff like Stone Bridge, Farmer Grove Hunters Meadow. You need a first name and a last name, which would be two sets of strings, say, 20 items each. Last time I wrote VB code, around VB3, I would have written
