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.WebHost ingTypes.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.
