Question

How do I cast an int to an enum in C#?

Answer 1

From an int:

YourEnum foo = (YourEnum)yourInt; 

From a string:

YourEnum foo = (YourEnum) Enum.Parse(typeof(YourEnum), yourString);  // The foo.ToString().Contains(",") check is necessary for  // enumerations marked with a [Flags] attribute. if (!Enum.IsDefined(typeof(YourEnum), foo) && !foo.ToString().Contains(",")) {     throw new InvalidOperationException(         $"{yourString} is not an underlying value of the YourEnum enumeration."     ); } 

From a number:

YourEnum foo = (YourEnum)Enum.ToObject(typeof(YourEnum), yourInt);
