csharp enum from string code example

Example 1: string to enum c#

Enum.TryParse("Active", out StatusEnum myStatus);

Example 2: c# get enum value from string

//This example will parse a string to a Keys value
Keys key = (Keys)Enum.Parse(typeof(Keys), "Space");
//The key value will now be Keys.Space

Example 3: c# string enum

public static class Status
{
    public const string Awesome = "Awesome";
    public const string Cool = "Cool";
}
//Not an enum but has a similar effect without needing to convert ints
