How to get a enum value from string in C#?

Question

I have an enum:

public enum baseKey : uint
{  
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT = 0x80000000,
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER = 0x80000001,
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = 0x80000002,
          


        

Answer 1

Alternate solution can be:

baseKey hKeyLocalMachine = baseKey.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE;
uint value = (uint)hKeyLocalMachine;

Or just:

uint value = (uint)baseKey.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE;
