if i have the following enum declaration:

		public enum DatePart
		{
			YEAR = 0,
			MONTH = 1,
			DAY = 2,
			HOUR = 3,
			MIN = 4,
			SEC = 5,
			MILLI = 6
		};

and i am referencing, say DatePart.MONTH in the code somewhere (outside the enum),

HOW DO I GET THE ASSOCIATED VALUE (1) ?

e.g.

Console.Write("Value = " + DatePart.MONTH);

prints

Value = MONTH

and i want

Value = 1

thx,

Here you go...

// Set blah to the value of Month in the Enum... blah would then equal the value 1.
int blah = (int)Enum.Parse(typeof(DatePart),"MONTH")

This says parse the enum DatePart, look for the value with the name "MONTH" and cast its value to an integer.

Enjoy!
