How can you assign an ordinary string to an enum variable?

Question

C++ / C#

i need something like this

Programm m_CurentProgramm;//перечисление enum

string set = comboBox1.SelectedText; // например Sity
m_CurentProgramm = Programm.set; // мне нужно собрать значение  Programm.Sity

Is there a way to do this or is it not possible in C#?

Answer 1

enum SomeEnum {
  A,
  B
}
var text = "B";
var enumValue = Enum.Parse<SomeEnum>(text); // SomeEnum.B

PS: there is no such method in .net standard < 2.1 and .net framework, but there is

var enumValue = (SomeEnum) Enum.Parse(typeof(SomeEnum), text);

Answer 2

Enum.Parse(SelectedText)
Or get enum strings - Enum.GetNamesand choose the right one yourself.
