Answer 1

Based on Justin's answer above I came up with this:

    /// 

    /// Converts Enum Value to different Enum Value (by Value Name) See https://stackoverflow.com/a/31993512/6500501.
    /// 
    /// The type of the enum to convert to.
    /// The source enum to convert from.
    /// 
    /// 
    public static TEnum ConvertTo(this Enum source)
    {
        try
        {
            return (TEnum) Enum.Parse(typeof(TEnum), source.ToString(), ignoreCase: true);
        }
        catch (ArgumentException aex)
        {
            throw new InvalidOperationException
            (
                $"Could not convert {source.GetType().ToString()} [{source.ToString()}] to {typeof(TEnum).ToString()}", aex
            );
        }
    }
