If I have the following code:

public enum Greatings 
{
    Hi,
    Hola,
}

private static class General
{
    public static string stringKey = "Hi"
    public static Greatings enumKey { get; set; }
}

Since I know that enumKey is a value of the enum type Greatings, is there a way of assigning enumKey.Assign(stringKey)?

I have been able to do something like this:

public static T Assign<T>(string value) where T : struct
{
    return (T)Enum.Parse(typeof(T), value);
}

And then call enumKey = Assign<Greatings>(stringKey) but I wish I didn’t need to use the explicit Greatings because I might have more properties and different type of enums so if I have a function that links to the property that is going to be modified, it would be perfect.
