convert DataRow col value to enum type

To convert DataRow column values to enum types , I am using :
MyEnum myEnumValue = (MyEnum )Enum.Parse( typeof( MyEnum ),
((int)row["MyEnumId"]).ToString() );

Is there an easier way ?

Hi,

Well, function is an option. Enum.ToObject can also reduce a bit, such as

MyEnum myEnumValue = IntoToMyEnum ((int)row["MyEnumId"]));

function MyEnum IntoToMyEnum( int converted )
{
return (MyEnum)Enum.To Object(typeof (MyEnum ), converted);
}

Answer: http://weblogs.asp.net/tims/archive/2004/04/02/106310.aspx by Tim Sneath 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.

I have been trying to improve the quality of my C# and ADO.NET coding. One of the books I've read strongly advises against using string values to address individual values in DataRow objects. This rings true to me after years of avoiding string lookups whenever possible. But, when I attempted to implement this recommendation I appear to run into casting issues. Thus: enum myFields { field1 = 0, field2 = 1

I am writing general method that would take Type that should represent a enum that do something with it. In the middle of the method I need to cast it to this enum. I tried Convert.ChangeType but it throws an exception - InvalidCast. Wanted to know is it possible to make cast if you don't know the type at the time of writing the code? Thanks,

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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.
