Dropdown list Custom Property in Visual WebPart

You can create a dropdown list as a custom property in Visual WebPart by defining your list as an enumeration as shown below

public enum customProperyList { Select,List1, List2, List3 };
public customProperyList  _list;

[WebBrowsable(true),
  WebDisplayName("My List"),
  WebDescription("Select from your list"),
  Personalizable(PersonalizationScope.Shared),
  System.ComponentModel.Category("Mail Settings"),
  DefaultValue("Select")
]

   public customProperyList  _List
      {
           get { return _list; }
           set { _list = value; }
        }
