Question

I have 2 enums in 2 different objects. I want to set the enum in object #1 equal to the enum in object #2.

Here are my objects:

namespace MVC1 {

    public enum MyEnum {
        firstName,
        lastName
      }

   public class Obj1{
        public MyEnum enum1;
    }
   }


     namespace MVC2 {

    public enum MyEnum {
        firstName,
        lastName
      }

    public class Obj2{
        public MyEnum enum1;
      }
    }

I want to do this, but this wont compile:

 MVC1.Obj1 obj1 = new MVC1.Obj1();
 MVC2.Obj2 obj2 = new MVC2.Obj2();
 obj1.enum1 = obj2.enum1; //I know this won't work.

How do I set the enum in Obj1 equal to the enum in Obj2? Thanks

Assuming that you keep them the same, you can cast to/from int:

obj1.enum1 = (MVC1.MyEnum)((int)obj2.enum1);
