Hi I used a System.Type object and some System.Reflection classes: My test enumeration: public enum Color { Red Green Yellow Blue } The code which detects the members: Type t = typeof(Color); FieldInfo[] fiArr = t.GetFields(); foreach(FieldInfo fi in fiArr) { if ( ! fi.IsSpecialName) { // Add value of the enumeration to the combobox. Console.WriteLine(fi.Name); } } Simon
