POIValueConverter removing underlying value of enum(int)
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm passing an <code>Enum</code> with underlying value (<code>int</code>) as a parameter from <code>XAML</code> to an <code>IValueConverter</code>. The idea is to use the <code>Enum</code> value to iterate against a list to check if the value exists & return a <code>Visibility</code> <code>enum</code>. The list is of type <code>int</code>. But when passing the <code>Enum</code> to the <code>converter</code>, I cannot cast the <code>Enum</code> back to an <code>int</code>. Peering into the parameter with 'Quick Watch', I cannot see the underlying value or any value at all.</p> <p>Enum e.g. </p> <pre><code>public class Operations { public enum Reporting { ReportAccounts = 101, ReportEngineering = 102, ReportSoftware = 103, ReportPR = 104, ReportCRM = 105 } public enum Editing { EditUser = 201, EditAccess = 202, EditView = 203 } } </code></pre> <p>XAML e.g. </p> <pre><code>Visibility={Binding Converter={StaticResource VisibilityConverter}, ConverterParameter={x:Static Operations:Reporting.ReportAccounts}} </code></pre> <p><code>IValueConverter</code> e.g.</p> <pre><code>public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture) { bool visibility = OperationList.Exists(list => list.Id == (int)parameter); if (visibility == true) { return Visibility.Visible; } else { return Visibility.Collapsed; } } </code></pre> <p>I would like to know if there is any way of retaining or retrieving the underlying value of an enum when it is passed to an <code>IValueConverter</code>.</p>
