Getting enumerate value [duplicate]

Question

Possible Duplicate:
Enums returning int value

I want to numerate "Stack", "Overflow" and "Stackoverflow". Therefore I use enumerate.

enum Status : int
{
     Stack = 1,
     Overflow = 2,
     StackOverflow = 3
}

But when I want to get value of Stack, I get "Stack".

int status = 0;
status = Status.Stack; //I want to assign 1 to status but Status.Stack returns "Stack"

How can I do it?

yes you are right @AnatoliiG but there were a problem for :int after that it is solved.. thanks for your quick reply — Stack User

Just cast to int:

status = (int) Status.Stack;
