Answer:

To retrieve an Enum member given by their Name,we will use the ConvertFrom() method of the TypeConverter class and cast the result to our Enum type as

'VB.Net
enum_obj = CType(System.ComponentModel.TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(enum_obj).ConvertFrom("Active"),Active_Inactive)

MasBox(enum_obj.ToString())

//C#
enum_obj = (Active_Inactive)TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(enum_obj).ConvertFrom("Active");

MessageBox.Show(enum_obj.ToString());
