[CLOSED] Register icons dynamically

[Jurke]

Hi
I would like to be able to register Icons dynamuically from, say a database table. Now im doing like this

ScriptManager1.RegisterIcon(Icon.Building);

But I want to do something like this.

strIcon[0] = "Building";
strIcon[1] = "Application";

for (int i =0; i<2; i++)
{
    ScriptManager1.RegisterIcon(Icon.strIcon[i]);    
}

Is that possible?

Hi Mikael,

I believe you can parse any valid string into an Enum by using Enum.Parse.


Hope this helps.

Sorry, I dont get what you mean. Can you please show me.

Theme theme= (Theme)Enum.Parse(typeof(Theme),*strIcon[i]);

Hope this helps.

Thanks
I did like this and it worked great.

Icon ico = (Icon)Enum.Parse(typeof(Icon), "Server");
ScriptManager1.RegisterIcon(ico);

oops... sorry about that. I just copy/paste that code from another file and forgot to convert to the Icon Enum.

No problem!
