Using enumerations in C#

Let’s assume we have an enumeration like shown below. I have the integer value of the enumeration and I want to get the enumeration type.

public enum DataTypeCodes
    {
        DATATYPE_1 = 11,
        DATATYPE_2 = 12,
        DATATYPE_3 = 23,
        DATATYPE_4 = 34,
        DATATYPE_5 = 45,
        DATATYPE_6 = 56,
        DATATYPE_7 = 67,
        DATATYPE_8 = 78
    }

Here is the code snippet to achieve this.

Int value = 23;
DataTypeCodes dt = (DataTypeCodes) value;

This should give me 'DATATYPE_3'.

Cheers
Adam
