我提出了包含当前语言特性的扩展方法。通过使用dynamic，我不需要将其作为泛型方法并指定使调用更简单和一致的类型：

public static class EnumEx
{
    public static dynamic Value(this Enum e)
    {
        switch (e.GetTypeCode())
        {
            case TypeCode.Byte:
            {
                return (byte) (IConvertible) e;
            }

            case TypeCode.Int16:
            {
                return (short) (IConvertible) e;
            }

            case TypeCode.Int32:
            {
                return (int) (IConvertible) e;
            }

            case TypeCode.Int64:
            {
                return (long) (IConvertible) e;
            }

            case TypeCode.UInt16:
            {
                return (ushort) (IConvertible) e;
            }

            case TypeCode.UInt32:
            {
                return (uint) (IConvertible) e;
            }

            case TypeCode.UInt64:
            {
                return (ulong) (IConvertible) e;
            }

            case TypeCode.SByte:
            {
                return (sbyte) (IConvertible) e;
            }
        }

        return 0;
    }

尝试使用此方法，而不是将enum转换为int：

public static class ReturnType
{
    public static readonly int Success = 1;
    public static readonly int Duplicate = 2;
    public static readonly int Error = -1;        
}

这比你想象的要简单-枚举已经是int。只需要提醒一下：

int y = (int)Question.Role;
Console.WriteLine(y); // Prints 2

也许我错过了，但有人尝试过简单的通用扩展方法吗？

这对我来说非常有用。您可以通过这种方式避免API中的类型转换，但最终会导致更改类型操作。这是对Roslyn编程的一个很好的例子，让编译器为您生成GetValue＜T＞方法。

    public static void Main()
    {
        int test = MyCSharpWrapperMethod(TestEnum.Test1);

        Debug.Assert(test == 1);
    }

    public static int MyCSharpWrapperMethod(TestEnum customFlag)
    {
        return MyCPlusPlusMethod(customFlag.GetValue<int>());
    }

    public static int MyCPlusPlusMethod(int customFlag)
    {
        // Pretend you made a PInvoke or COM+ call to C++ method that require an integer
        return customFlag;
    }

    public enum TestEnum
    {
        Test1 = 1,
        Test2 = 2,
        Test3 = 3
    }
}

public static class EnumExtensions
{
    public static T GetValue<T>(this Enum enumeration)
    {
        T result = default(T);

        try
        {
            result = (T)Convert.ChangeType(enumeration, typeof(T));
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Debug.Assert(false);
            Debug.WriteLine(ex);
        }

        return result;
    }
}

为了确保枚举值存在，然后解析它，还可以执行以下操作。

// Fake Day of Week
string strDOWFake = "SuperDay";

// Real Day of Week
string strDOWReal = "Friday";

// Will hold which ever is the real DOW.
DayOfWeek enmDOW;

// See if fake DOW is defined in the DayOfWeek enumeration.
if (Enum.IsDefined(typeof(DayOfWeek), strDOWFake))
{
    // This will never be reached since "SuperDay"
    // doesn't exist in the DayOfWeek enumeration.
    enmDOW = (DayOfWeek)Enum.Parse(typeof(DayOfWeek), strDOWFake);
}
// See if real DOW is defined in the DayOfWeek enumeration.
else if (Enum.IsDefined(typeof(DayOfWeek), strDOWReal))
{
    // This will parse the string into it's corresponding DOW enum object.
    enmDOW = (DayOfWeek)Enum.Parse(typeof(DayOfWeek), strDOWReal);
}

// Can now use the DOW enum object.
Console.Write("Today is " + enmDOW.ToString() + ".");

以下是扩展方法

public static string ToEnumString<TEnum>(this int enumValue)
{
    var enumString = enumValue.ToString();
    if (Enum.IsDefined(typeof(TEnum), enumValue))
    {
        enumString = ((TEnum) Enum.ToObject(typeof (TEnum), enumValue)).ToString();
    }
    return enumString;
}
