Get Enum type from value

Question

public enum WeekDays { Sun = 1, Mon = 2, Tue=3, Wed=4, Thu=5, Fri=6, Sat=7 }

I have this enum, I have the value of the enum. what I want to do is by passing value get the type that I want to pass this to below function. I can do this by switch case any better ways??

for Example : value is 6 then Weekdays.Fri as a type should be passed to the below function.

  public void CreateNew(WeekDays days)
  {
   //Some logic
  }

Answer 1

All you need to do is cast the value.

CreateNew((WeekDays)6);

enum values are essentially just typed integers, so you can freely cast both ways between enum and integral types. It's even possible to cast an integer value that doesn't exist in the enum into that type with no problem, so if you want to avoid that, remember to add validation that checks that the value exists before casting.
