Question

I want to create string ENUM in c#.

Basically i wan’t to set form name in Enum. When i open form in main page that time i want to switch case for form name and open that particular form.
I know ENUM allows only integer but i want to set it to string.
Any Idea?

Do this:

private IddFilterCompareToCurrent myEnum = 
(IddFilterCompareToCurrent )Enum.Parse(typeof(IddFilterCompareToCurrent[1]),domainUpDown1.SelectedItem.ToString());

[Enum.parse] returns an Object, so you need to cast it.
