Recently I came across the need to convert a string stored in the database into an enumeration in our application. I wasn’t really excited about having to write a switch statement nor having to maintain that code. Fortunately there is a command in .Net that allows you to parse that string into any enumeration which is a great help! Below is a sample of how to use Enum.Parse():
/// <summary>
/// This procedure generates the Permissions Mask necessary so that the correct permissions are applied by combining all the Masks that belong to a Security Permission Level
/// </summary>
/// <param name=”permissionLevel”>The Permission level for which the mask needs to be calculated</param>
/// <returns></returns>
private static Microsoft.SharePoint.SPBasePermissions GeneratePermissionMask(Security___Permission_Levels permissionLevel)
{
Microsoft.SharePoint.SPBasePermissions permissionMask = Microsoft.SharePoint.SPBasePermissions.EmptyMask;
Type SPBasePermissionType = typeof(Microsoft.SharePoint.SPBasePermissions);
foreach (Model.Security___Permissions_definition individualPermissionValue in permissionLevel.Security___Permissions_definition)
{
permissionMask |= (Microsoft.SharePoint.SPBasePermissions)Enum.Parse(SPBasePermissionType, individualPermissionValue.Security_Mask, true);
}
return (Microsoft.SharePoint.SPBasePermissions)permissionLevel.Permissions;
}

Can we use Let's Encrypt, the free and open certificate authority?
Hola! gracias por la info, me sirvió el comando sacandole el nombre del server. En mi caso, fue una migración…
Yes 3rd option helped me too. I removed the WC key Values from config file then started working.
I know this is from 2014. But really, thank you!
