Reference with entire number in enumerate

So I have made this file where I list my exercises as 1.A, 1.B,... for the exercises in Chapter 1, and 2.A,2.B,... for the exercises in Chapter 2.

documentclass{book}



usepackage{enumerate}



begin{document}



chapter{Chapter 1}



Text 



section{Exercises}



begin{enumerate}[arabic{chapter}.A]

   item Bla. label{thislabel}

   item bla. Hint: use Exercise ref{thislabel}.

end{enumerate}



end{document}

Now the reference prints only the letter A, I would like it to print 1.A instead. When using hyperref, this does not matter unless the material is printed of course.

Thank you for this solution. I've removed the enumerate package and used enumitem, as they are known not to work together. At first glance, I am not missing out on features of enumerate right now.

@JSchoone if you load enumitem with the shortlabels option, then it covers all of the syntax features from the enumerate package.

The approach is global but you can make it local of course for example by wrapping the two lines in a zut macro (add a % at end of first line) and the use begin{enumerate}zut ... or better define some other environment wrapping enumerate and insert there the two lines.

But enumitem is a useful package and I trust (although I never really looked) you can get with it most if not all of enumerate functionality. (hence I of course +1ed Ulrike's answer and find it the better one)
