How to Convert a string to an enum in C#?

Answer

StatusEnumMyStatus=(StatusEnum)Enum.Parse(typeof(StatusEnum),"Active",true);

I tend to simplify this with:

publicstatic T ParseEnum<T>(string value ){return(T)Enum.Parse(typeof( T ), value,true);}

Then I can do:

StatusEnumMyStatus=EnumUtil.ParseEnum<StatusEnum>("Active");
