Animal animal = Animal.Cat;string str = animal.ToString();  // "Cat"

string str = "Dog";Animal animal = (Animal)Enum.Parse(typeof(Animal), str);  // Animal.Dog
Animal animal = (Animal)Enum.Parse(typeof(Animal), str, true); // case insensitive

Reverse Bytes (Little/Big Endian) [C#]

// reverse byte order (16-bit)
public static UInt16 ReverseBytes(UInt16 value)
{
  return (UInt16)((value & 0xFFU) << 8 | (value & 0xFF00U) >> 8);
}

// reverse byte order (32-bit)
public static UInt32 ReverseBytes(UInt32 value)
{
  return (value & 0x000000FFU) << 24 | (value & 0x0000FF00U) << 8 |
         (value & 0x00FF0000U) >> 8 | (value & 0xFF000000U) >> 24;
}

// reverse byte order (64-bit)
public static UInt64 ReverseBytes(UInt64 value)
{
