A possibly simpler version of this is to create an extension method for
strings:
public static class MyExtensions
{
public static TEnum ParseEnum<TEnum>(this string value,
bool ignoreCase = false) where TEnum : struct
{
TEnum tenumResult;
Enum.TryParse<TEnum>(value, ignoreCase, out tenumResult);
return tenumResult;
}
}
Note that you also do not need to assign or return
default(TEnum) because
Enum.TryParse will always set
tenumResult for you, regardless of success or failure when parsing.
Usage:
var enumValue = "One".ParseEnum<EnumOne>();
