Returning enum from method

Question

_{Sunday, January 10, 2016 7:47 PM}

I'm trying to pass an int to a method and want to return an enum from that method.  Something like the code below:

        public HTML_REPORT_RUN GetReportRun(int runID)
        {
                if (runID ==  (int)HTML_REPORT_RUN.ABC)
                    HTML_REPORT_RUN.ABC;
                if (runID ==  (int)HTML_REPORT_RUN.DEF)
                    return HTML_REPORT_RUN.DEF
        }

How do I do something like that?

at the simplest, just do this:

        public HTML_REPORT_RUN GetReportRun(int runID){
            return (HTML_REPORT_RUN)runID;
        }

if it's possible values not in the enum may get passed in, you may want to do some value testing first:
