I am building a DSL using the Visual Studio modelling SDK and one of my model classes needs to have a domain property that I want to just be one of a selection of items from a drop-down list.

(I can't override a Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.ElementNameProvider class, as this property is not the name)

It turns out that if you right-click the top level item in the DSL Explorer there is a menu "Add New Domain Enumeration" that fires a builder to help you build a new enumerated type that is known to the model and can therefore be used for domain properties.
