How to convert CSV string to List<Enum>

Question

I have defined enum events:

public enum Events {
  UNLOCK = 1,
  LOCK = 2
}

as well as CSV string:

var csv = "1,2";

What would be preferable way to convert csv string to List< Events> in C#?

Answer 1

csv.Split(',').Select(s => (Events)Enum.Parse(typeof(Events), s));

BTW with generic enum class you can parse this way Enum<Events>.Parse(s) and whole code will look like:

csv.Split(',').Select(Enum<Events>.Parse)

Answer 2

csv.Split(',').Select(x => (Events)int.Parse(x)).ToList();
