Convert Enum to string in SubMethod [duplicate]

Question

I am struggling with the correct cast. May someone can show me the right direction?

See my example below:

public enum E_Enum1
{
Value1,
Value2,
Value3
}

public enum E_Enum2
{
Bla,
blubb,
whatever
}

public void myMethod(Enum e)
{
//print e.value in int
//print e.toString()
}


myMethod(E_Enum2.whatever);
myMethod(E_Enum1.Value2);

I want to get a result of:

2
whatever
1
Value2

Answer 1

EDIT: Changed answer to avoid using string interpolation and string.Format that box the enum value

Use generic type:

public void myMethod<TEnum>(TEnum e) where TEnum : Enum
{
    Console.WriteLine(e.ToString("D"));
    Console.WriteLine(e.ToString("G"));
}

Then call method:

myMethod(E_Enum2.whatever);
myMethod(E_Enum1.Value2);
