title: String to enum conversion in C#
body: <p>I have a combo box where I am displaying some entries like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Equals
  Not Equals 
  Less Than
  Greater Than
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Notice that these strings contain spaces. I have a enum defined which matches to these entries like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>enum Operation{Equals, Not_Equals, Less_Than, Greater_Than};
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Since space is not allowed, I have used _ character.</p>
  
  <p>Now, is there any way to convert given string automatically to an enum element without writing a loop or a set of if conditions my self in C#?</p>
