I have an Enum

public enum MyEnum
    {
        value1= 1,
        value2= 2,
        value3= 3,
        value4= 4
    }

How do I get the integer values , if I give the string as input , say input--> value2 , then , output-->2

Thanks

Basically you cam use Enum.Parse to parse the string and then cast to int like below :

var str  = "value1";
var value = (int)Enum.Parse<MyEnum>(str);
