How can I cast int to enum?

Question

How can an int be cast to an enum in C#?

Answer 1

Alternatively, use an extension method instead of a one-liner:

public static T ToEnum(this string enumString)
{
    return (T) Enum.Parse(typeof (T), enumString);
}

Usage:

Color colorEnum = "Red".ToEnum();

OR

string color = "Red";
var colorEnum = color.ToEnum();
