Cast int to Enum while knowing Type

Question

I am looking for a way to cast an int to an Enum, e.g.

var result = (MyEnum)value;

The Problem is that i only have the Integer and a System.Type.

And this doesn't work:

var result = (type)value;

Thanks for your help.

You want to cast an `int` to `MyEnum` without knowing what `MyEnum` is? — p.s.w.g, Mar 13 '13 at 15:51

You can use:

 Enum.ToObject(type, value);

Although I have no idea how you expect to use that result if you don't know what the type is at compile time.
