对于数值，这是更安全的，因为无论发生什么情况，它都会返回一个对象：

public static class EnumEx
{
    static public bool TryConvert<T>(int value, out T result)
    {
        result = default(T);
        bool success = Enum.IsDefined(typeof(T), value);
        if (success)
        {
            result = (T)Enum.ToObject(typeof(T), value);
        }
        return success;
    }
}

向Enum转换和从Enum转换的不同方式

enum orientation : byte
{
 north = 1,
 south = 2,
 east = 3,
 west = 4
}

class Program
{
  static void Main(string[] args)
  {
    orientation myDirection = orientation.north;
    Console.WriteLine(“myDirection = {0}”, myDirection); //output myDirection =north
    Console.WriteLine((byte)myDirection); //output 1

    string strDir = Convert.ToString(myDirection);
        Console.WriteLine(strDir); //output north

    string myString = “north”; //to convert string to Enum
    myDirection = (orientation)Enum.Parse(typeof(orientation),myString);


 }
}

您可以使用扩展方法。

public static class Extensions
{

    public static T ToEnum<T>(this string data) where T : struct
    {
        if (!Enum.TryParse(data, true, out T enumVariable))
        {
            if (Enum.IsDefined(typeof(T), enumVariable))
            {
                return enumVariable;
            }
        }

        return default;
    }

    public static T ToEnum<T>(this int data) where T : struct
    {
        return (T)Enum.ToObject(typeof(T), data);
    }
}

使用如下代码：

枚举：

public enum DaysOfWeeks
{
    Monday = 1,
    Tuesday = 2,
    Wednesday = 3,
    Thursday = 4,
    Friday = 5,
    Saturday = 6,
    Sunday = 7,
}

用法：

 string Monday = "Mon";
 int Wednesday = 3;
 var Mon = Monday.ToEnum<DaysOfWeeks>();
 var Wed = Wednesday.ToEnum<DaysOfWeeks>();

稍微偏离了最初的问题，但我找到了堆栈溢出问题的答案：从枚举中获取int值很有用。使用public const int财产创建一个静态类，允许您轻松收集一组相关的int常量，然后在使用它们时不必将它们强制转换为int。

public static class Question
{
    public static readonly int Role = 2;
    public static readonly int ProjectFunding = 3;
    public static readonly int TotalEmployee = 4;
    public static readonly int NumberOfServers = 5;
    public static readonly int TopBusinessConcern = 6;
}

显然，一些枚举类型的功能将丢失，但对于存储一堆数据库id常量来说，这似乎是一个非常整洁的解决方案。

我需要两个指示：

YourEnum possibleEnum = (YourEnum)value; // There isn't any guarantee that it is part of the enum
if (Enum.IsDefined(typeof(YourEnum), possibleEnum))
{
    // Value exists in YourEnum
}

从int：

YourEnum foo = (YourEnum)yourInt;

从字符串：

YourEnum foo = (YourEnum) Enum.Parse(typeof(YourEnum), yourString);

// The foo.ToString().Contains(",") check is necessary for 
// enumerations marked with a [Flags] attribute.
if (!Enum.IsDefined(typeof(YourEnum), foo) && !foo.ToString().Contains(","))
{
    throw new InvalidOperationException(
        $"{yourString} is not an underlying value of the YourEnum enumeration."
    );
}

从一个数字：

YourEnum foo = (YourEnum)Enum.ToObject(typeof(YourEnum), yourInt);
