switch case with enum

Hi
i am getting "a constant value is required" error when i use the enum value
in case statement/
Any ideas?
sample code:
myconfig.cs
--
public enum WebHostingTypes
{
[Description("BASIC")] Basic,
[Description("PLUS")] Plus,
[Description("PREM")] Premium
}
product.cs
--
switch(WebHostingType)
{
case objCommon.GetEnumValueDescription(myconfig.WebHostingTypes.Basic):
break;
case ....
}
Even if i tried using a something like
public enum Volume
{
Low,
Medium,
High
}
string myVolume = "Medium";
switch(myVolume)
{
case myconfig.Volume.Medium:
break;
case ....
}
- GaneEnumerated values are numbers. If you treat them as such you will have no
problems with them.

well, ok. But i couldnt figure why the example below (2nd Example) is not
working for me, but worked for others (found in some tech articles).

I wouldn't know, as I haven't seen them. However, I can't see any good
reason for doing so. You have to be careful what tech articles you read, and
by whom they are written.
