i have ans of first question

enum encountries:int{india=0,usa,uk,uae};// declare enum  var enumnames=enum.getnames(typeof(encountries)); //convert string array foreach (string item in enumnames) { //get enum item value int value = (int)enum.parse(typeof(encountries), item); listitem listitem = new listitem(item, value.tostring()); dropdown.items.add(listitem); // bind dropdown }
