Dynamic Enums?

Yes, but it's not worth the very large effort required.
Basically, you would retrieve the list from the database, then create a source module (*.vb) dynamically (i.e. via string concatenation) that contains your enum, then call the vb or CSharp compiler (csc.exe), then late-bind to the resulting assembly.
Try using an ArrayList collection instead.

OMG, thats way too much overhead.
I have a co-worker thats enum crazy, although I think that using collections would be much easier. Just wasn't sure if maybe there was an easy way to get the best of both worlds.
Apparantly there isn't.
Thanks Chip.
