From an int:
YourEnum foo = (YourEnum)yourInt;
From a string:
YourEnum foo = (YourEnum) Enum.Parse(typeof(YourEnum), yourString);
// The foo.ToString().Contains(",") check is necessary for enumerations marked with an [Flags] attribute
if (!Enum.IsDefined(typeof(YourEnum), foo) && !foo.ToString().Contains(","))
{
throw new InvalidOperationException($"{yourString} is not an underlying value of the YourEnum enumeration.")
}
Update:
From number you can also
YourEnum foo = (YourEnum)Enum.ToObject(typeof(YourEnum) , yourInt);
Whereas one approach is to implement the ICloneable
interface (described here, so I won't regurgitate), here's a nice deep clone object copier I found on The Code Project a while ago and incorporated it into our code.
As mentioned elsewhere, it requires your objects to be serializable.
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary;
/// <summary>
/// Reference Article http://www.codeproject.com/KB/tips/SerializedObjectCloner.aspx
/// Provides a method for performing a deep copy of an object.
/// Binary Serialization is used to perform the copy.
/// </summary>
public static class ObjectCopier
{
/// <summary>
/// Perform a deep copy of the object via serialization.
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="T">The type of object being copied.</typeparam>
/// <param name="source">The object instance to copy.</param>
/// <returns>A deep copy of the object.</returns>
public static T Clone<T>(T source)
{
if (!typeof(T).IsSerializable)
{
throw new ArgumentException("The type must be serializable.", nameof(source));
}
// Don't serialize a null object, simply return the default for that object
if (ReferenceEquals(source, null)) return default;
using var Stream stream = new MemoryStream();
IFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
formatter.Serialize(stream, source);
stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
return (T)formatter.Deserialize(stream);
}
}
The idea is that it serializes your object and then deserializes it into a fresh object. The benefit is that you don't have to concern yourself about cloning everything when an object gets too complex.
In case of you prefer to use the new extension methods of C# 3.0, change the method to have the following signature:
public static T Clone<T>(this T source)
{
// ...
}
Now the method call simply becomes objectBeingCloned.Clone();
.
EDIT (January 10 2015) Thought I'd revisit this, to mention I recently started using (Newtonsoft) Json to do this, it should be lighter, and avoids the overhead of [Serializable] tags. (NB @atconway has pointed out in the comments that private members are not cloned using the JSON method)
/// <summary>
/// Perform a deep Copy of the object, using Json as a serialization method. NOTE: Private members are not cloned using this method.
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="T">The type of object being copied.</typeparam>
/// <param name="source">The object instance to copy.</param>
/// <returns>The copied object.</returns>
public static T CloneJson<T>(this T source)
{
// Don't serialize a null object, simply return the default for that object
if (ReferenceEquals(source, null)) return default;
// initialize inner objects individually
// for example in default constructor some list property initialized with some values,
// but in 'source' these items are cleaned -
// without ObjectCreationHandling.Replace default constructor values will be added to result
var deserializeSettings = new JsonSerializerSettings {ObjectCreationHandling = ObjectCreationHandling.Replace};
return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(source), deserializeSettings);
}

This will perform a high quality resize:
wrapMode.SetWrapMode(WrapMode.TileFlipXY)
prevents ghosting around the image borders -- naïve resizing will sample transparent pixels beyond the image boundaries, but by mirroring the image we can get a better sample (this setting is very noticeable)destImage.SetResolution
maintains DPI regardless of physical size -- may increase quality when reducing image dimensions or when printinggraphics.CompositingMode
determines whether pixels from a source image overwrite or are combined with background pixels.SourceCopy
specifies that when a color is rendered, it overwrites the background color.graphics.CompositingQuality
determines the rendering quality level of layered images.graphics.InterpolationMode
determines how intermediate values between two endpoints are calculatedgraphics.SmoothingMode
specifies whether lines, curves, and the edges of filled areas use smoothing (also called antialiasing) -- probably only works on vectorsgraphics.PixelOffsetMode
affects rendering quality when drawing the new imageMaintaining aspect ratio is left as an exercise for the reader (actually, I just don't think it's this function's job to do that for you).
Also, this is a good article describing some of the pitfalls with image resizing. The above function will cover most of them, but you still have to worry about saving.
