Dont know how to assign value to ENUM property in a class

Here it is my code

public partial class VerifyAccountType
{
private BacsCodeType bacsCodeField;

public BacsCodeType bacsCode
{
get
{
return this.bacsCodeField;
}
set
{
this.bacsCodeField = value;
}
}
}

public partial class BacsCodeType
{
private BACScode codeField;

private BACSdescription valueField;

public BACScode code
{
get
{
return this.codeField;
}
set
{
this.codeField = value;
}
}

public BACSdescription Value
{
get
{
return this.valueField;
}
set
{
this.valueField = value;
}
}
}

public enum BACScode
{
B,

Item2,

Item5,
}

public enum BACSdescription
{
Accountclosed,

Accountholderdeceased,

Accountdoesnotexist,
}

Now I can create an instance of VerifyAccountType as

oRtlO.accountInformation = new VerifyAccountType();

Also to access enum property I create next instance,

oRtlO.accountInformation.bacsCode = new BacsCodeType();

Now my concern is how can I assign value to the following?

oRtlO.accountInformation.bacsCode.code = ????;

I couldn't assign string value for e.g as ""

Can anyone please help me?

Hi Rahul,

Write below way,

oRtlO.accountInformation.bacsCode.code =(BACScode)Enum.Parse(typeof(BACScode), "B", true);

You must have to assign string that define in BACScode enum like B,Item2 etc..
