If you want the Name for the value.
Dim objType As Type = obj.GetType
If objType.IsEnum Then
Dim eName As String = [Enum].GetName(objType, obj)
If eName Is Nothing Then
writer.WriteString(obj.ToString)
Else
writer.WriteString(eName)
End If
End If

The default behavior of an enumeration's ToString implementation (which is what's called when a listbox wants to display something) is to show the name of the item (what you want).

Once the user has selected something, to go from there back to your enumeration, you use the static/shared Parse method:

C#:

MyEnumType TheEnumValue = (MyEnumType)Enum.Parse(typeof(MyEnumType), ListBox.SelectedItem);

VB.NET:

Dim TheEnumValue As MyEnumType = CType([Enum].Parse(GetType(MyEnumType), MyListBox.SelectedItem), MyEnumType)
