Question

I am using a 3rd party DLL which expects an enumeration called ‘DaysOfWeek’ in the method signature.

I am allowing my users to select the day of week from a ComboBox, but I end up with a string.

How can I match my string to the appropriate enumeration property?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Enum.Parse(typeof(DaysOfWeek), yourStringValue, true);

Note: This will launch an exception if the string is not convertible to the enum. Last parameter is for case insensitive search.
