I've two identical C# enumeration defined like these:
public enum ArrivalToleranceEnum
{
ZERO,
QUARTERHOUR,
HALFHOUR,
ONEHOUR,
TWOHOURS,
}
public enum ArrivalTolerance {
/// <remarks/>
ZERO,
/// <remarks/>
QUARTERHOUR,
/// <remarks/>
HALFHOUR,
/// <remarks/>
ONEHOUR,
/// <remarks/>
TWOHOURS,
}
ArrivalTolerance is defined in an external library and in my program I want to use a local enumaration ArrivalToleranceEnum so I need to convert these two types. How can I do this? I've tried to do this by end (using a switch) but it's very tedius and not very time saving because I've other much bigger enumeration I need to convert.

Two enum names can have same value. For example, in the following C program both 'Failed' and 'Freezed' have same value 0.
Like any other variable, enums cannot use spaces in the names.
C# enumerations are value data type. In other words, enumeration contains its own values and cannot inherit or cannot pass inheritance.
In the C# language, enum (also called enumeration) is a user-defined value type used to represent a list of named integer constants. It is created using the enum keyword inside a class, structure, or namespace.
Enum values are represented by integer constants. If the underlying enum constants are the same, just cast:
(ArrivalToleranceEnum)(int)ArrivalTolerance.HALFHOUR
If they are not the same, you can automate the mapping using reflection code or one of the static members of the Enum class. That is more tedious and much slower, though.
