C# Enum TryParse() Method
The TryParse() method converts the string representation of one or more enumerated constants to an equivalent enumerated object.
Firstly, set an enum.
enum Vehicle { Bus = 2, Truck = 4, Car = 10 };
Now, let us declare a string array and set some values.
string[] VehicleList = { "2", "3", "4", "bus", "Truck", "CAR" };
Now parse the values accordingly using Enum TryParse() method.
Example
using System; public class Demo { enum Vehicle { Bus = 2, Truck = 4, Car = 10 }; public static void Main() { string[] VehicleList = { "2", "3", "4", "bus", "Truck", "CAR" }; foreach (string val in VehicleList) { Vehicle vehicle; if (Enum.TryParse(val, true, out vehicle)) if (Enum.IsDefined(typeof(Vehicle), vehicle) | vehicle.ToString().Contains(",")) Console.WriteLine("Converted '{0}' to {1}", val, vehicle.ToString()); else Console.WriteLine("{0} is not a value of the enum", val); else Console.WriteLine("{0} is not a member of the enum", val); } } }
Output
Converted '2' to Bus 3 is not a value of the enum Converted '4' to Truck Converted 'bus' to Bus Converted 'Truck' to Truck Converted 'CAR' to Car
