Get int value from enum in C#

Question

I have a class called Questions (plural). In this class there is an enum called Question (singular) which looks like this.

public e         


        

Answer 1

Since enums can be declared with multiple primitive types, a generic extension method to cast any enum type can be useful.

enum Box
{
    HEIGHT,
    WIDTH,
    DEPTH
}

public static void UseEnum()
{
    int height = Box.HEIGHT.GetEnumValue();
    int width = Box.WIDTH.GetEnumValue();
    int depth = Box.DEPTH.GetEnumValue();
}

public static T GetEnumValue(this object e) => (T)e;
