Enum values can be converted to integral values and vice versa using type casts. For example:
using System; public class Program { public enum ProgrammingLanguages { CSharp, PHP, Python, Java, Go, Javascript } public static void Main() { ProgrammingLanguages MyEnum1 = (ProgrammingLanguages) 2; Console.WriteLine(MyEnum1); // Python // Or ProgrammingLanguages MyEnum2 = (ProgrammingLanguages)Enum.ToObject(typeof(ProgrammingLanguages), 4); Console.WriteLine(MyEnum2); // GO } }
