"cast" string to enum

Hi all,

i want to save the position of my Addin-Toolbar to the registry. It's
easy to store the position as a string with MsoBarPosition. toString().

But when I read the key, I get it as a string and I want to assign the
value to the MsoBarPosition. Is there a better way than iterating over
all possibilities in a CASE call?

Thx, Langi

Enum.Parse will hanle this for you .. Here is an example.

class Program {
public enum foo {
Something, SomethingElse
}
static void Main(string[] args) {
foo f = foo.SomethingEl se;
string tmp = f.ToString();
foo f1 = (foo) Enum.Parse(type of(foo), tmp);
}
}

Error is thus: "Cast from type 'DBNull' to type 'String' is not valid." Simple, right? Well, no (or at least not for me). Here's a function, followed by the calling code below: Function GetDetails(ByVal x As String, ByVal y as String) Dim conn As New SqlConnection ("server=localhost;uid=blah;pwd=blah;database=test") Dim strSQL As String Dim ds As New DataSet()

Hi all: I have an object of a base class that needs to be cast to an object of a specialized class. What is the best way to do this? (I thought about creating a constructor in the specialized class that takes an argument of the type of the base class and then copy property values over, but that seems like a hassle) --

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
