Passing enum values to a function in PowerShell

I have a function accepting an enum value as parameter. As an example, consider something like:

(PS) > function IsItFriday([System.DayOfWeek] $dayOfWeek) {

    Yes, that is a rather confusing error message. I think you would understand better with an example:

    Get-ChildItem -Path C:\
    

    Notice there are no quotes around C:\ because, one, it implcitly gets converted to a string, and two, it is not necessary to enclose a path which does not contain spaces when you pass the path as a parameter to some callee.

    So lets go back to your function, and change it slightly:

    function IsItFriday($dayOfWeek) 
    {
        $dayOfWeek.GetType()
    
        if ($dayOfWeek -eq [System.DayOfWeek]::Friday) 
        {
            "yes"
        } 
        else 
        {
            "no"
        }
    }
    
    IsItFriday [System.DayOkWeek]::Monday
    

    ...and the output:

    IsPublic IsSerial Name                                     BaseType                                                                                        
    -------- -------- ----                                     --------                                                                                        
    True     True     String                                   System.Object                                                                                   
    no
    

    See what happened there? PowerShell thinks you are passing in a string instead of an enumeration value, so that's why you get Cannot convert value "[System.DayOfWeek]::Monday" because that is the literal string that gets passed in.
