I have this following code in C#
_mapRegions = new ListDictionary();
            foreach (RegionEnum region in Enum.GetValues(typeof(RegionEnum)))
                _mapRegions.Add(region, Enum.GetName(typeof(RegionEnum), region));

and in VB I tried

 _mapRegions = New ListDictionary()
            Dim region As RegionEnum = Nothing

            For Each region In System.Enum.GetValues(Type.GetType("RegionEnum"))
                _mapRegions.Add(region, System.Enum.GetName(Type.GetType("RegionEnum"), region))
            Next

but it throws an error, that the value cannot be null O.o ?

Hi

You can try this instead (notice the [YourFullNamespace] placeholder must be altered
example: "YourApplicationName.Form1+RegionEnum" should replace mine (do not add the [] brackets)

start .........

Dim myType As Type = Type.GetType("[YourFullNamespace+RegionEnum]")

For Each region In System.Enum.GetValues(myType)
 _mapRegions.Add(region, System.Enum.GetName(myType, region))
Next
........ end

Hope this helps you out.

I was assuming in my post that the textual name of the type
was important to you.

However if the string name is not important and you will have access or knowledge of the type, you can can of course use

GetType(RegionEnum)
