enumItems str = (enumItems)0;
where 
public enum enumItems 
  {
    a = 0,
    b,
    c
  }

see the line 1 for conversion from int to enum beloe for conversion from enum to int

int k = (int)enumItems.a;

Hi,

From a string:

YourEnum foo = (YourEnum) Enum.Parse(typeof(yourEnum), yourString);

From an int:

YourEnum foo = (YourEnum)yourInt;

The Enum is only known in runtime, so i can't just simply use (YourEnum)yourInt;
