Enum Problem

[Sachin Dubey]

I defined a enum as public enum Access { Guest = 1, Public = 2, Center = 4, Member = 8, Trader = 16 } there are 5 checkboxes in my asp.net page suppose user checked Guest and Center then Value of center and Guest i.e.(1+4=5) 5 will save in Database in integar field.. Now my Question is I am getting Value from database like categoriesDTO.CatAccess = (Access)r["CategoryStatus"]; Now enum has value 5... So how can i check these 2 checkboxes of center and Guest Thanx In advance

You cannot! How you think you will make 5 into 4 and 1??? It could either be 2 and 3!! Save comma separated values like 1,4 in database and then fetch, split and use them. HTH

Add the Flags attribute to your enumeration and you can use it like this[^] or a simple example here[^]

Hi all.. My question is Genuine.. Bcoz if stored value is 5 it means only 1 and 4 checkbox has to be checked. No other Chekbox make combination of 2 +3 bcoz 2 is a value but 3 is not there
