This is all asp.net c#.
I have an enum
public enum ControlSelectionType
{
NotApplicable = 1,
SingleSelectRadioButtons = 2,
SingleSelectDropDownList = 3,
MultiSelectCheckBox = 4,
MultiSelectListBox = 5
}
The numerical value of this is stored in my database. I display this value in a datagrid.
<asp:boundcolumn datafield="ControlSelectionTypeId" headertext="Control Type"></asp:boundcolumn>
The ID means nothing to a user so I have changed the boundcolumn to a template column with the following.
<asp:TemplateColumn>
<ItemTemplate>
<%# Enum.Parse(typeof(ControlSelectionType), DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ControlSelectionTypeId").ToString()).ToString()%>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
This is a lot better... However, it would be great if there was a simple function I can put around the Enum to split it by Camel case so that the words wrap nicely in the datagrid.
Note: I am fully aware that there are better ways of doing all this. This screen is purely used internally and I just want a quick hack in place to display it a little better.
