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() + ".");

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;
    }

public enum QuestionType
{
    Role = 2,
    ProjectFunding = 3,
    TotalEmployee = 4,
    NumberOfServers = 5,
    TopBusinessConcern = 6
}

…是一个很好的声明。

您必须将结果强制转换为int，如下所示：

int Question = (int)QuestionType.Role

否则，类型仍然是QuestionType。

这种严格程度是C#的方式。

一种替代方法是改用类声明：

public class QuestionType
{
    public static int Role = 2,
    public static int ProjectFunding = 3,
    public static int TotalEmployee = 4,
    public static int NumberOfServers = 5,
    public static int TopBusinessConcern = 6
}

声明不那么优雅，但不需要将其转换为代码：

int Question = QuestionType.Role

或者，您可能会对Visual Basic感到更舒服，它在许多方面都满足了这种期望。

例子：

public enum EmpNo
{
    Raj = 1,
    Rahul,
    Priyanka
}

在后面的代码中获取枚举值：

int setempNo = (int)EmpNo.Raj; // This will give setempNo = 1

or

int setempNo = (int)EmpNo.Rahul; // This will give setempNo = 2

枚举将递增1，您可以设置起始值。如果不设置起始值，初始值将指定为0。

如果您想为存储在变量中的枚举值获取一个整数（其类型为Question），以便在方法中使用，您可以简单地执行我在本例中编写的操作：

enum Talen
{
    Engels = 1, Italiaans = 2, Portugees = 3, Nederlands = 4, Duits = 5, Dens = 6
}

Talen Geselecteerd;    

public void Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent()
    Geselecteerd = Talen.Nederlands;
}

// You can use the Enum type as a parameter, so any enumeration from any enumerator can be used as parameter
void VeranderenTitel(Enum e)
{
    this.Text = Convert.ToInt32(e).ToString();
}

这会将窗口标题更改为4，因为变量Geselecterd是Talen.Nedelands。如果我将其更改为Talen.Portuges并再次调用该方法，文本将更改为3。

public enum Suit : int
{
    Spades = 0,
    Hearts = 1,
    Clubs = 2,
    Diamonds = 3
}

Console.WriteLine((int)(Suit)Enum.Parse(typeof(Suit), "Clubs"));

// From int
Console.WriteLine((Suit)1);

// From a number you can also
Console.WriteLine((Suit)Enum.ToObject(typeof(Suit), 1));

if (typeof(Suit).IsEnumDefined("Spades"))
{
    var res = (int)(Suit)Enum.Parse(typeof(Suit), "Spades");
    Console.Out.WriteLine("{0}", res);
}
