To get the enum value write following code
Code for enum public enum Priority { Low = 1, High = 2 } Code to get enum value int value = (int) Priority.Low;
This will set value = 1
If the value would have been string like "1", you can have casted to (string) instead of (int).
----------------------
If you know the enum user friendly name and want to retrieve its value, you can use below code.
Priority myVal = (Priority)Enum.Parse(typeof(Priority), "high", true);
Response.Write((int)myVal);
Above code snippet, shall print "2".
Hope this helps
Thank you.
