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。

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);


 }
}

我正在使用这段代码将int转换为枚举：

if (typeof(YourEnum).IsEnumDefined(valueToCast)) return (YourEnum)valueToCast;
else { //handle it here, if its not defined }

我觉得这是最好的解决方案。

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;
    }
}

我更喜欢使用可为null的枚举类型变量。

var enumValue = (MyEnum?)enumInt;

if (!enumValue.HasValue)
{
    throw new ArgumentException(nameof(enumValue));
}

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);
