或者，使用扩展方法而不是单行：

public static T ToEnum<T>(this string enumString)
{
    return (T) Enum.Parse(typeof (T), enumString);
}

用法：

Color colorEnum = "Red".ToEnum<Color>();

OR

string color = "Red";
var colorEnum = color.ToEnum<Color>();

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;
    }
}

要将字符串转换为ENUM或将int转换为ENOM常量，我们需要使用ENUM.Parse函数。这是一段youtube视频https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nhx4VwdRDk这实际上是用字符串演示的，这同样适用于int。

代码如下所示，其中“红色”是字符串，“MyColors”是具有颜色常数的颜色ENUM。

MyColors EnumColors = (MyColors)Enum.Parse(typeof(MyColors), "Red");

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);


 }
}

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);

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
}
