Enum.TryParse returns true for any numeric values

问题


I'm running into a behavior I wasn't expecting when using Enum.TryParse.

If I have an enum:

public enum MyEnum
{
  ValueA,
  ValueB,
  ValueC
}

And then I pass a numeric value (as a string) into Enum.TryParse, like:

MyEnum outputEnum;
bool result = Enum.TryParse("1234", out outputEnum);

Despite the string "1234" not being a possible value, result will come back as true, and my outputEnum will have a value of 1234.

Is there a way I can avoid this sort of behavior? I'm trying to write a function which will process arbitrary string input as an enum, and this has thrown a bit of a monkeywrench in my bad-input detection.


回答1:


This behavior is by design.

The documentation says:

. If value is the string representation of an integer that does not represent an underlying value of the TEnum enumeration, the method returns an enumeration member whose underlying value is value converted to an integral type. If this behavior is undesirable, call the IsDefined method to ensure that a particular string representation of an integer is actually a member of TEnum.

Call Enum.IsDefined to veryify that the value you parsed actually exists in this particular enum.

If you're dealing with [Flags] enums (bitmasks), it'll get more complicated.
