how to search an enum variable for a specific member?

[bnathvbdotnet]

I have declared an enum as

enum PaymentFrequency : int

{
Monthly = 12,
Quarterly = 4,
SemiAnnual = 4,
Annual = 1

};

in the method I am writing, the parameter passed is any one of items in the enum (say Annual).

How to search an enum variable for 'Annual' and get the value which is 1 here.

thanks

You don't search for enum values. They simply are. If the variable is of that enum type, then the variable's value would be the value you are looking for,.

cast it to (int)
or use a switch
