解析Enum的困惑

Question

我正在将字符串类型的数值转换为相应的枚举.当我测试我的代码时,我发现有趣的行为令我感到困惑.

使用下面的代码示例,如果/当"s"变量的值与Enum值之一不匹配时,有人可以阐明为什么不抛出异常？另外,如何将sEnum var设置为Stooge枚举定义中不存在的值？

class Program
{
    enum Stooge
    {
        Unspecified,
        Moe,
        Larry,
        Curly,
        Shemp
    }

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        while (true)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Enter a number...");

            string s = Console.ReadLine();
            Stooge sEnum = (Stooge)(int.Parse(s)); //Why doesn't this line throw if s != 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4?

            Console.WriteLine("\r\nYou entered: {0}\r\nEnum String Value: {1}\r\nEnum Int Value: {2}\r\n", s, sEnum.ToString(), (int)sEnum);
        }
    }
}

这是创建.NET的人的决定.枚举被另一个值类型(备份int,short,byte,等),所以它实际上可以有一个有效期为那些值类型的任意值.

我个人不喜欢它的工作方式,所以我做了一系列实用方法:

/// <summary>
/// Utility methods for enum values. This static type will fail to initialize 
/// (throwing a <see cref="TypeInitializationException"/>) if
/// you try to provide a value that is not an enum.
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="T">An enum type. </typeparam>
public static class EnumUtil<T>
    where T : struct, IConvertible // Try to get as much of a static check as we can.
{
    // The .NET framework doesn't provide a compile-checked
    // way to ensure that a type is an enum, so we have to check when the type
    // is statically invoked.
    static EnumUtil()
    {
        // Throw Exception on static initialization if the given type isn't an enum.
        Require.That(typeof (T).IsEnum, () => typeof(T).FullName + " is not an enum type.");
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// In the .NET Framework, objects can be cast to enum values which are not
    /// defined for their type. This method provides a simple fail-fast check
    /// that the enum value is defined, and creates a cast at the same time.
    /// Cast the given value as the given enum type.
    /// Throw an exception if the value is not defined for the given enum type.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T"></typeparam>
    /// <param name="enumValue"></param>
    /// <exception cref="InvalidCastException">
    /// If the given value is not a defined value of the enum type.
    /// </exception>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public static T DefinedCast(object enumValue)

    {
        if (!System.Enum.IsDefined(typeof(T), enumValue))
            throw new InvalidCastException(enumValue + " is not a defined value for enum type " +
                                           typeof (T).FullName);
        return (T) enumValue;
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// 
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="enumValue"></param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public static T Parse(string enumValue)
    {
        var parsedValue = (T)System.Enum.Parse(typeof (T), enumValue);
        //Require that the parsed value is defined
        Require.That(parsedValue.IsDefined(), 
            () => new ArgumentException(string.Format("{0} is not a defined value for enum type {1}", 
                enumValue, typeof(T).FullName)));
        return parsedValue;
    }

    public static bool IsDefined(T enumValue)
    {
        return System.Enum.IsDefined(typeof (T), enumValue);
    }

}

public static class EnumExtensions
{
    public static bool IsDefined<T>(this T enumValue)
        where T : struct, IConvertible
    {
        return EnumUtil<T>.IsDefined(enumValue);
    }
}

这样,我可以说:

if(!sEnum.IsDefined()) throw new Exception(...);

... 要么:

EnumUtil<Stooge>.Parse(s); // throws an exception if s is not a defined value.
