for say a Repeater, how do I format a data item that matches to an enum in my code?

for example:

td><%# Server.HtmlEncode(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"type").ToString()) %></td>

will output the raw type,

but in my enum 1=Red, 2=Green, 3=Blue.

how do I output "Red" or "Green" or "Blue" and not the values 1,2 or 3.

To get the name of an enum item, call Enum.GetName.
