Get int value from enum in C#

Question

I have a class called Questions (plural). In this class there is an enum called Question (singular) which looks like this.

public e         


        

Answer 1

You should have used Type Casting as we can use in any other language.

If your enum is like this-

public enum Question
{
    Role = 2,
    ProjectFunding = 3,
    TotalEmployee = 4,
    NumberOfServers = 5,
    TopBusinessConcern = 6
}

And you need to cast to an int, then do this-

Question q = Question.Role;
.............
.............
int something = (int) q;

Re-

In C#, there are two types of casting:

• Implicit Casting (automatically) - converting a smaller type to a larger type size like-

char -> int -> long -> float -> double

• Explicit Casting (manually) - converting a larger type to a smaller size type like-

double -> float -> long -> int -> char
