Answer 1

Here is universal helper class that will do reverse action - getting key by value from ANY Enum:

public static class EnumHelpers {

  public static T GetEnumObjectByValue(int valueId) {
    return (T) Enum.ToObject(typeof (T), valueId);
  }

}

And it works like this - given we have this Enum:

public enum ShipmentStatus {
  New = 0,
  Shipped = 1,
  Canceled = 2
}

So, to get Enum object ShipmentStatus.Shipped this will return this object:

var enumObject = EnumHelpers.GetEnumObjectByValue(1);

So basicaly you can stick any Enum object and get it by value:

var enumObject = EnumHelpers.GetEnumObjectByValue(VALUE);
