how to check if string value is in the Enum list?

Question

In my query string, I have an age variable ?age=New_Born.

Is there a way I can check if this string value New_Born is in my Enum list

Answer 1

I've got a handy extension method that uses TryParse, as IsDefined is case-sensitive.

public static bool IsParsable(this string value) where T : struct
{
    return Enum.TryParse(value, true, out _);
}
