Sometimes longer code is ok

This code even it's longer..

.Select(permission => (Common.Security.PermissionEnum) System.Enum.Parse(typeof(Common.Security.PermissionEnum), permission.Value));

..is superior to this short code:

.Select(permission => (Common.Security.PermissionEnum) int.Parse(permission.Value));

The first code, even if the enum is updated to long data type, will still work.


How often do we upgrade the enum to long though?


Happy Coding!
