Question

I have the following Enum:

namespace Storage.Constants.References { 
    public enum RoleType {
        Guest = 1,
        User = 2,
        Admin = 3,
        Super = 4
    } 
}

The following viewmodel:

public class   BaseViewModel
{
    public int Role { get; set; }
}

In my code I have the following. Note that the Enum is recognized by the code.

@if (Model.Role >= RoleType.Admin) {
   xx
}

My code fails at runtime with the following message:

error CS0019: Operator ‘>=’ cannot be applied to operands of type ‘int’ and ‘Storage.Constants.References.RoleType’

Answer 1

Two options. cast RoleType.Admin to an int as RoleType.Admin is an Enum type.

@if (Model.Role >= (int)RoleType.Admin) { 
   xx 
} 

Or make the property in BaseViewModel an enum, so no need for conversion:

public class   BaseViewModel
{
    public RoleType Role { get; set; }
}
@if (Model.Role >= RoleType.Admin) { 
   xx 
}
