Parse(Type, String, Boolean)

Converts the string representation of the name or numeric value of one or more enumerated constants to an equivalent enumerated object. A parameter specifies whether the operation is case-insensitive.

Parse<TEnum>(ReadOnlySpan<Char>)

Converts the span of characters representation of the name or numeric value of one or more enumerated constants specified by TEnum to an equivalent enumerated object.

Parse<TEnum>(ReadOnlySpan<Char>, Boolean)

Converts the span of characters representation of the name or numeric value of one or more enumerated constants specified by TEnum to an equivalent enumerated object. A parameter specifies whether the operation is case-insensitive.

Parse<TEnum>(String)

Converts the string representation of the name or numeric value of one or more enumerated constants specified by TEnum to an equivalent enumerated object.

Parse<TEnum>(String, Boolean)

Converts the string representation of the name or numeric value of one or more enumerated constants specified by TEnum to an equivalent enumerated object. A parameter specifies whether the operation is case-insensitive.

ToObject(Type, Byte)

Converts the specified 8-bit unsigned integer to an enumeration member.

ToObject(Type, Int16)

Converts the specified 16-bit signed integer to an enumeration member.

ToObject(Type, Int32)

Converts the specified 32-bit signed integer to an enumeration member.

ToObject(Type, Int64)

Converts the specified 64-bit signed integer to an enumeration member.

ToObject(Type, Object)

Converts the specified object with an integer value to an enumeration member.

ToObject(Type, SByte)

Converts the specified 8-bit signed integer value to an enumeration member.

ToObject(Type, UInt16)

Converts the specified 16-bit unsigned integer value to an enumeration member.

ToObject(Type, UInt32)

Converts the specified 32-bit unsigned integer value to an enumeration member.

ToObject(Type, UInt64)

Converts the specified 64-bit unsigned integer value to an enumeration member.

ToString()

Converts the value of this instance to its equivalent string representation.

ToString(IFormatProvider)
Obsolete.
Obsolete.

This method overload is obsolete; use ToString().

ToString(String)

Converts the value of this instance to its equivalent string representation using the specified format.

ToString(String, IFormatProvider)
Obsolete.
Obsolete.

This method overload is obsolete; use ToString(String).

TryFormat<TEnum>(TEnum, Span<Char>, Int32, ReadOnlySpan<Char>)

Tries to format the value of the enumerated type instance into the provided span of characters.

TryParse(Type, ReadOnlySpan<Char>, Boolean, Object)

Converts the span of characters representation of the name or numeric value of one or more enumerated constants to an equivalent enumerated object. A parameter specifies whether the operation is case-insensitive.
