Convert string to Enum instance

public void EnumInstanceFromString()
{
   // The .NET Framework contains an Enum called DayOfWeek.
   // Let's generate some Enum instances from strings.

   DayOfWeek wednesday = 
      (DayOfWeek)Enum.Parse(typeof(DayOfWeek), "Wednesday");
   DayOfWeek sunday = 
      (DayOfWeek)Enum.Parse(typeof(DayOfWeek), "sunday", true);
   DayOfWeek tgif = 
      (DayOfWeek)Enum.Parse(typeof(DayOfWeek), "FRIDAY", true);

   lblOutput.Text = wednesday.ToString() 
      + ".  Int value = " + ((int)wednesday).ToString() + "
";
   lblOutput.Text += sunday.ToString() 
      + ".  Int value = " + ((int)sunday).ToString() + "
";
   lblOutput.Text += tgif.ToString() 
      + ".  Int value = " + ((int)tgif).ToString() + "
";

}

The Enum.Parse method takes two or three arguments. The first is the 
type of the enum you want to create as output. The second field is the 
string you want to parse. Without a third input, the case of the input 
string must match an enum instance or the conversion fails. But the 
third input indicates whether to ignore case. If true, than wEdNEsDAy 
will still get converted successfully.

Example: Output

Wednesday. Int value = 3
Sunday. Int value = 0
Friday. Int value = 5
