Converting String To Type

Enum.Parse Method (Type, String)

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/essfb559.aspx

Converts the string representation of the name or numeric value of one or more enumerated constants to an equivalent enumerated object.

using System;
[Flags] enum Colors { None=0, Red = 1, Green = 2, Blue = 4 };
public class Example{
public static void Main()
{
string[] colorStrings = { "0", "2", "8", "blue", "Blue", "Yellow", "Red, Green" };
foreach (string colorString in colorStrings)
{
try {
Colors colorValue = (Colors) Enum.Parse(typeof(Colors), colorString);
if (Enum.IsDefined(typeof(Colors), colorValue) | colorValue.ToString().Contains(","))
Console.WriteLine("Converted '{0}' to {1}.", colorString, colorValue.ToString());
else
Console.WriteLine("{0} is not an underlying value of the Colors enumeration.", colorString);
}
catch (ArgumentException) {
Console.WriteLine("'{0}' is not a member of the Colors enumeration.", colorString);
}
}
}
}
// The example displays the following output:
// Converted '0' to None.
// Converted '2' to Green.
// 8 is not an underlying value of the Colors enumeration.
// 'blue' is not a member of the Colors enumeration.
// Converted 'Blue' to Blue.
// 'Yellow' is not a member of the Colors enumeration.
// Converted 'Red, Green' to Red, Green.

Solution :
EXEC sp_dbcmptlevel 'yourDB', '90';
go
ALTER AUTHORIZATION ON DATABASE::yourDB TO "yourLogin"
go
use [yourDB]
go
EXECUTE AS USER = N'dbo' REVERT
go
