Convert string to Enum

[Killamus]

Yea, how do I reference a string to an enum, without doing an if statement for each one? For instance

string WepType = Console.ReadLine();
(WeaponType)WepType = Weapon.Type;

Where Type is of the WeaponType Enum.

[mordero]

string s = Console.ReadLine();
WeaponType type = (WeaponType) Enum.Parse(typeof(WeaponType), s, true);

that should do the trick

Sweet, thanks.

You must spread around more karma before giving it to mordero again.

Damn.
