I needed the following functionality:
\n– class MarketSession has property MarketType (options, futures, …)
\n– this property is an enum, but in the underlying protocol it is actually a number
\n– in my Spring.NET configuration I wanted to specify a string which would be either a symbolic name or a number; one would use symbolic names for defined market types and numbers for the market types that did not make it yet into the enum<\/p>\n
I was pleasantly surprised to find out, that the built-in public<\/span> class<\/span> MyClass<\/span> public<\/span> string<\/span> MarketType private<\/span> static<\/span> T Parse<T>(string<\/span> s) I needed the following functionality: – class MarketSession has property MarketType (options, futures, …) – this property is an enum, but in the underlying protocol it is actually a number […]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"Layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["entry","author-ikriv","post-365","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-cs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ikriv.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ikriv.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ikriv.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ikriv.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ikriv.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=365"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ikriv.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/365\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ikriv.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=365"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ikriv.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=365"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ikriv.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=365"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Enum.Parse()<\/code> provides exactly what I need.
