Enum with String and Number Request. Extra DayOfWeek

Introduction

Simple working with an enum to get a value int or string out.

Using the Code

This is an easy example, but works perfectly.

Place the following enum in a reachable class file.

Public enum Roles
{
Admin = 1,
SuperUser = 2,
Staff = 3
}

Then move along in the code behind (ASP) or controller (MVC).

The stringValue comes from the enum by entering the int between the second pair of brackets.

The intValue needs the int type in brackets before the enum call.

// The answer will be "SuperUser"
var stringValue = ((Roles)2);

// The answer will be 3
var intValue = (int) Roles.Staff;

GOOD LUCK !!!

DayOfWeek

Likely unknown is the DayOfWeek enum.

Looking at the way of request on the tip above the DayOfWeek is also working this way and more.

So:

//The answer will be "Monday"
var DayName = ((DayOfWeek)1);

//The answer will be 1
var intDay = (int)DayOfWeek.Monday;

But there is more with this function...

Culture is also possible.

//The answer will be "Tuesday" in the computer preferred language
var stringValue = System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.GetDayName((DayOfWeek)2);

//The Answer will be "We" in your computer preferred language
var stringValue =  
    System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo.CurrentInfo.GetAbbreviatedDayName((DayOfWeek)3);

I have given you the whole using, but you can shorten it by setting the using on top with the rest.

using System.Globalization;

Naturally, you can replace the used number with a variable.

GOOD LUCK !!!
