我喜欢扩展方法的解决方案。

namespace System
{
    public static class StringExtensions
    {

        public static bool TryParseAsEnum<T>(this string value, out T output) where T : struct
        {
            T result;

            var isEnum = Enum.TryParse(value, out result);

            output = isEnum ? result : default(T);

            return isEnum;
        }
    }
}

下面是我的测试实现。

using static Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting.Assert;
using static System.Console;

private enum Countries
    {
        NorthAmerica,
        Europe,
        Rusia,
        Brasil,
        China,
        Asia,
        Australia
    }

   [TestMethod]
        public void StringExtensions_On_TryParseAsEnum()
        {
            var countryName = "Rusia";

            Countries country;
            var isCountry = countryName.TryParseAsEnum(out country);

            WriteLine(country);

            IsTrue(isCountry);
            AreEqual(Countries.Rusia, country);

            countryName = "Don't exist";

            isCountry = countryName.TryParseAsEnum(out country);

            WriteLine(country);

            IsFalse(isCountry);
            AreEqual(Countries.NorthAmerica, country); // the 1rst one in the enumeration
        }

对于性能，这可能会有所帮助:

    private static Dictionary<Type, Dictionary<string, object>> dicEnum = new Dictionary<Type, Dictionary<string, object>>();
    public static T ToEnum<T>(this string value, T defaultValue)
    {
        var t = typeof(T);
        Dictionary<string, object> dic;
        if (!dicEnum.ContainsKey(t))
        {
            dic = new Dictionary<string, object>();
            dicEnum.Add(t, dic);
            foreach (var en in Enum.GetValues(t))
                dic.Add(en.ToString(), en);
        }
        else
            dic = dicEnum[t];
        if (!dic.ContainsKey(value))
            return defaultValue;
        else
            return (T)dic[value];
    }

我使用了class(具有解析和性能改进的Enum强类型版本)。我在GitHub上找到了它，它应该也适用于。net 3.5。它有一些内存开销，因为它缓冲了一个字典。

StatusEnum MyStatus = Enum<StatusEnum>.Parse("Active");

这篇博文是Enums - NET 3.5中更好的语法，更好的性能和TryParse。

和代码: https://github.com/damieng/DamienGKit/blob/master/CSharp/DamienG.Library/System/EnumT.cs

public TEnum ToEnum<TEnum>(this string value, TEnum defaultValue){
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(value))
    return defaultValue;

return Enum.Parse(typeof(TEnum), value, true);}

我发现这里没有考虑具有EnumMember值的enum值的情况。我们开始吧:

using System.Runtime.Serialization;

public static TEnum ToEnum<TEnum>(this string value, TEnum defaultValue) where TEnum : struct
{
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(value))
    {
        return defaultValue;
    }

    TEnum result;
    var enumType = typeof(TEnum);
    foreach (var enumName in Enum.GetNames(enumType))
    {
        var fieldInfo = enumType.GetField(enumName);
        var enumMemberAttribute = ((EnumMemberAttribute[]) fieldInfo.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(EnumMemberAttribute), true)).FirstOrDefault();
        if (enumMemberAttribute?.Value == value)
        {
            return Enum.TryParse(enumName, true, out result) ? result : defaultValue;
        }
    }

    return Enum.TryParse(value, true, out result) ? result : defaultValue;
}

枚举的例子是:

public enum OracleInstanceStatus
{
    Unknown = -1,
    Started = 1,
    Mounted = 2,
    Open = 3,
    [EnumMember(Value = "OPEN MIGRATE")]
    OpenMigrate = 4
}

您正在寻找枚举。解析。

SomeEnum enum = (SomeEnum)Enum.Parse(typeof(SomeEnum), "EnumValue");
