How to get enum custom value?

Question

I have an enum like this:

public enum ProductGroup
{
    A = 1,
    B = 2,
    C = 4,
    D = 8
}

How can I get ProductGroup enum values? For example, when my enum value is ProductGroup.C I want get its value 4;

Just cast it as an int to get the index value.

So:

ProductGroup productGroup = ProductGroup.C;

Int32 productGroupIndex = (Int32)productGroup;

In the above example, productGroupIndex == 4.

just for the info there is no need of extra temporary variable here ........you can do it directly

"when my enum value is..." - from this, I made the assumption that it was an instance of the ProductGroup enum that would need the casting.

Just cast the enum

int val = (int)ProductGroup.A;

You can convert/cast the enum:

int productGroup = Convert.ToInt32(ProductGroup.C);

or

int productGroup = (int)ProductGroup.C;
