Get enum string from integer

Question

Hello

I have this enum:

    Friend Enum Blah As Integer
        Zero = 0
        One = 1
        Two = 2
    End Enum

I will get an integer and need to return the related string.

ie will need to convert 1 to One.

Select Case InputInteger
 Case 0
  Return Zero
...
End Select

This will work but a short direct convertion?

Thanks.

Answer 1

This should work also

    Dim foo As Blah = CType(InputInteger, Blah)

    Dim s As String = foo.ToString

Answer 2

Hi @StewartBW ,

You can achieve a more concise conversion from an integer to the corresponding enum name by using the Enum.GetName method.

    Public Function ConvertIntegerToEnumName(value As Integer) As String
        Return [Enum].GetName(GetType(Blah), value)
    End Function

Best Regards.
