I don't believe that you can. Enum is used to declare a type for
enumeration, so you can declare a data type of that enumeration, or you can
use any of the member names within your code, but you can't go the other
way. You may have many such types, all with a member value of 2, so which
would it return.

how can I retreive the string value of the enum internal identifier, in
other words if I have a value of 2 I want the corresponding "secondKey"

Public Enum MyEnum

firstKey = 1
secondKey = 2

End Enum
