Hi,
The program compiles and executes with no errors but its not saving the category that the users enters as one of the constants listed in the enum 'ItemCategory'. So if the users types 1, it should save category as 'Women', if users types 5, the program should save category as 'Babies' etc. Category is displayed as blank but everything else is shown correctly.
I haven't done the data validation yet, I will do that later.
So if you guys can please help me out, I'd appreciate it, thank you.
