Solution 1

Try

int i = (int)clsTabs.TabControls.Address;

The cast (int) should be of the type that you want returned, not the type of the data.

Luc, you pointed out a bug about the third comment, lets see if it's the same after 3rd comment.
Added---- I can edit it.

Correction: yes I can edit them, however the edit box gets preloaded with the content of an arbitrary comment, not necessarily the one I want to edit.

going to delete this
Har! Har! I have made it available again. - Henry. :-)
And I have deleted the one you were going to leave.
Am I able to make these changes because of my site status or can anybody do this?

In the interest of using correct nomenclature, the member of an enumuration is called an "ordinal". To get the ordinal value of the enumerator, simply cast it to the appropriate type (normally an int).

I also wrote a tip/trick regarding the setting of enumerators from untrusted data:
