c# - is this code possible?

Question

I play a game which I have ac# written source to, and I'm trying to make a command. Say I have these constants:

public class Flags {
    public const ulong
        Normal = 0x0,
        FlashingName = 0x1,
        Dizzy = 1UL << 58,
        DivineShield = 1UL << 57,
        Poisoned = 0x2
}

And I want to try a command like this:

case "addflag":{
    client.Entity.AddTopStatus(Update.Flags.(Data[1]), DateTime.Now.AddDays(1), false);
    break;
}

Where in game I would type @addflag Dizzy (dizzy in place of (data[1]) in the constants), kind of like if the command was:

client.Entity.AddTopStatus(Update.Flags.Dizzy, DateTime.Now.AddDays(1), false);

but since the (data[1]) is there, I can do it by command, rather than calling it directly. I can choose any constant, rather than calling out each one seperately.

This code I get an error in, but that was expected. Is there someway I can do this? (i hope you guys are understanding me, im not very good with c# so sorry if this is confusing)

Answer 1

Make Flags an enum and then use Enum.Parse to convert data[1] to the appropriate flag.

public enum Flags : ulong 
{

        Normal = 0x0,
        FlashingName = 0x1,
        Dizzy = 1UL << 58,
        DivineShield = 1UL << 57,
        Poisoned = 0x2
}
