Problems with "external" enumerations

Hi,

I have a custom web control that exposes two properties. Both are
enumerations. One work and one doesn't. The enumeration of the one =
that
works is declared in the same assembly as the control. The one that =
doesn't
work uses an enumeration declared in a system assembly. The main =
problems
are the following:

At design time: The drop down list in the property explorer displays =
neither
all nor the correct enum values.
At run time: ASP.NET complains that it is "unable to generate code for =
a
value of type".

Is it not possible to expose external enumerations, or do I have to do
something special to make it work?

Grateful for any enlightenment,

Sorry, I think I jumped to the wrong conclusion.

The problem was probably not that the enumeration was external. I now
believe that the reason it didn't work was that it had a Flags =
attribute.
