Using Enumeration types in switch-case block and ComboBox in C#

Here’s a code snippet that demonstrates how to use enum types in a switch-case block in combination with the ComboBox control. Just wanted to share ’cause I had to look it up on the web. Hope it helps somebody.

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Diagnostics;

namespace EnumWithCombo
{
    public partial class PlayerSelectionForm : Form
    {
        private enum Players
        {
            Gibbs, Richards, Cronje, Kirsten, Kallis, Smith, Villiers, Pollock, Ntini, Klusener, Steyn, Rhodes, Bosman, Kemp, Botha, Harris, Roelof
        }
        private string url = "http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/content/player/45224.html";

        public PlayerSelectionForm()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            playersComboBox.DataSource = Enum.GetValues(typeof(Players));
        }

        private void submitButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            switch ((Players) playersComboBox.SelectedItem)
            {
                case Players.Gibbs:
                    Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo("iexplore", url));
                    break;
                default:
                    MessageBox.Show(((Players) playersComboBox.SelectedItem).ToString());
                    break;
            }
        }
    }
}
