Hi,

In the Settings tab in Visual Studio, I can see Name, Type, Scope, Value table. Define settings is intuitive if the data type is already within the Type drop-down list i.e. integer, string, long etc.

But I can't find enum anywhere.

How do I save enum settings then?

For now, I have the following which clutter my code too much.

public enum Action
{
    LOCK = 9,
    FORCED_LOGOFF = 12,
    SHUTDOWN = 14,
    REBOOT,
    LOGOFF = FORCED_LOGOFF
};

and I define Action as int in the setting. Then I have to do,

        switch (Properties.Settings.Default.Action)
        {
            case 9: SetAction(Action.LOCK); break;
            case 12: SetAction(Action.FORCED_LOGOFF); break;
            case 14: SetAction(Action.SHUTDOWN); break;
            case 15: SetAction(Action.REBOOT); break;
            default: SetAction(Action.LOCK); break;
        }

Would be nice if I could simply do something like

SetAction(Properties.Settings.Default.Action);

to replace all above but I dont know how to save enum in setting. Hope my question is clear. Thanks.
