C# int to Flag Enum [duplicate]

Question

Possible Duplicate:
C# int to enum conversion

Is it somehow possible to convert an int to a flag combination enum? So, if

[Flags]
public enum Foo {a = 0x80,
                 b = 0x40,
                 c = ...,
                 ...
                 h = 0x1,
                 i = 0};

is it OK (or somehow possible) to do

Foo fooInstance = (Foo)6;

so that fooInstance would be 00000110?

Thanks!

What happened when you tried it? – Erythrocyte

@VirtualBlackFox: the flag part is a different aspect. – Baseball

@GertArnold FlagsAttribute is AFAIK only used in the Enum.ToString method and nothing change in the compiler whenever it's there or not. It's name can't even be found in the language specification document. value -> enum is defined as value -> enum_underlaying_type without any exception. So while the OP didn't know that it's question was a duplicate, it is. – Ed

Yes.

That works just fine. Flags attribute or not.
