public static T ParseEnum<T>(string value)            //function declaration  
{
    return (T) Enum.Parse(typeof(T), value);
}

Importance imp = EnumUtil.ParseEnum<Importance>("Active");   //function call

==================== 一个完整的程序 ====================

using System;

class Program
{
    enum PetType
    {
    None,
    Cat = 1,
    Dog = 2
    }

    static void Main()
    {

    // Possible user input:
    string value = "Dog";

    // Try to convert the string to an enum:
    PetType pet = (PetType)Enum.Parse(typeof(PetType), value);

    // See if the conversion succeeded:
    if (pet == PetType.Dog)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Equals dog.");
    }
    }
}
-------------
Output

Equals dog.

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
        }

如果你想在null或空时使用默认值(例如，当从配置文件检索时，该值不存在)，并在字符串或数字不匹配任何enum值时抛出异常。不过要注意提莫的回答(https://stackoverflow.com/a/34267134/2454604)。

    public static T ParseEnum<T>(this string s, T defaultValue, bool ignoreCase = false) 
        where T : struct, IComparable, IConvertible, IFormattable//If C# >=7.3: struct, System.Enum 
    {
        if ((s?.Length ?? 0) == 0)
        {
            return defaultValue;
        }

        var valid = Enum.TryParse<T>(s, ignoreCase, out T res);

        if (!valid || !Enum.IsDefined(typeof(T), res))
        {
            throw new InvalidOperationException(
                $"'{s}' is not a valid value of enum '{typeof(T).FullName}'!");
        }
        return res;
    }

object Enum.Parse(System.Type enumType, string value, bool ignoreCase);

如果你有一个名为mood的enum，它会像这样:

   enum Mood
   {
      Angry,
      Happy,
      Sad
   } 

   // ...
   Mood m = (Mood) Enum.Parse(typeof(Mood), "Happy", true);
   Console.WriteLine("My mood is: {0}", m.ToString());

你必须使用Enum。解析从Enum中获取对象值，之后你必须将对象值更改为特定的Enum值。转换为enum值可以通过使用Convert.ChangeType来实现。请看下面的代码片段

public T ConvertStringValueToEnum<T>(string valueToParse){
    return Convert.ChangeType(Enum.Parse(typeof(T), valueToParse, true), typeof(T));
}

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
}
