How can I cast int to enum?

Question

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

Answer 1

For numeric values, this is safer as it will return an object no matter what:

public static class EnumEx
{
    static public bool TryConvert(int value, out T result)
    {
        result = default(T);
        bool success = Enum.IsDefined(typeof(T), value);
        if (success)
        {
            result = (T)Enum.ToObject(typeof(T), value);
        }
        return success;
    }
}
