how to check if string value is in the Enum list?

Question

In my query string, I have an age variable ?age=New_Born.

Is there a way I can check if this string value New_Born is in my Enum list

Answer 1

You can use the TryParse method that returns true if it successful:

Age age;

if(Enum.TryParse("myString", out age))
{
   //Here you can use age
}
