Quick question about enums

Question

I was wondering... enum Size : int { SIZE_SMALL = 0, SIZE_MEDIUM = 1, SIZE_BIG = 2 } int myInt = 1; string myString = "SIZE_SMALL"; Is there anyway I can access members in the enum "Size" using my 2 variables? (By value or by name)? I don't want to just get the name, or get the value, I want a reference to that particular constant.

Hi Brian Check the code shown below. s1 shows you how to get the constant from a string. s2 shows you how to get the constant from an integer: private void ShowEnum() { Size s1 = (Size)Enum.Parse( typeof (Size) SIZE_SMALL true ); Size s2 = (Size)myInt; Console.WriteLine(s1={0} s1); Console.WriteLine(s2={0} s2); }
