Casting int to enum value in razor view

Question

I have an enum that looks like this:

public enum SMSTaskStatus
{
    New = 0,
    Awaiting = 1,
    InProgress = 2,
    OnHold = 3,
    Done = 4,
    Error = 5
}

and I am trying to return the value in a razor view using

<td>@{ (SMSTaskStatus) item.Status.Value;}</td>

but i get an error that

'Only assignment, call, increment, decrement, await and new
 object expressions can be used as a statement'

How can I cast it to the enum value in the view? It's a nullable int in my class

public int? Status { get; set; }

Answer 1

As you mentioned before when you try to cast an enum in razor, you get the error. I tried to implement your situation, I think this could be a good solution: In razor :

@{var currentStatus = (SMSTaskStatus) item.Status;}

<td>@currentStatus</td>
