Is this the hardest method in the entire .NET class lib?
Seems like it works differently for different enumTypes
I code
SearchRequest.S afeSearch =
(SafeSearchOpti ons)Enum.Parse( SafeSearchOptio ns,"moderate",t rue);
and it tells me that "SafeSearchOpti ons is a type but is used like a
variable".
But the Enum.Parse() docs say that the 1st param should be an enumType !
This is bewildering. 3 4030

The docs mean it should be a System.Type, one that represents an
enumeration. So presumably
Enum.Parse(type of(SafeSearchOp tions),...);

If you are using .Net 2.0 then you can use the following method. Put it in a
utility class.
public static T ParseEnum<T>(st ring s)
{
return (T)Enum.Parse(t ypeof(T), s);

I've come across the situation on a number of occasions when coding
where I've wanted to convert from a string to an enum. In the Media
Catalog sample, I resorted to one giant switch statement that has a
case block for each string that returns an enum from it.
One of my colleagues came up with the answer yesterday; it's one of

Hi,
I have the following code:

Why do I get c = "abcd" after this code instead of getting a

I have an enum as follows:

Is there anyway that I can return the Enum names by their value, i.e., I

I'm trying to pull data from a database that I have no control over the
structure of. There's a members table with a column for the member's
sex. It just stores the sex as M or F. I'd like to create an enum to
store the sex.
Is there a way that I can create a method in the Enum to convert M to
Male and F to Female, or does this method have to exist in another
class?
Thanks for any help!

So I was needing some extra power from my enums and implemented the
typesafe enum pattern.
And it got me to thinking... why should I EVER use standard enums?
There's now a nice little code snippet that I wrote today that gives me
an instant implementation of the pattern. I could easily just always
use such an implementation instead of a standard enum, so I wanted to
know what you experts all thought.
Is there a case for standard enums?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
