✅ Casting to enum when only having a Type object

Does anyone know how it's possible to cast while only having a

Type

Type

Type

Type object, and not the actual type at compile time?

I've got an enum (

MyEnum

MyEnum

MyEnum

MyEnum), and an integer value (

value

value

value

value)

I want to do the equivalent of this:

object? newValue = (MyEnum)value;

object? newValue = (MyEnum)value;

object? newValue = (MyEnum)value;

object? newValue = (MyEnum)value;

While only having access to

typeof(MyEnum)

typeof(MyEnum)

typeof(MyEnum)

typeof(MyEnum) and not knowing what

MyEnum

MyEnum

MyEnum

MyEnum actually is.

I had thought I could do this:

object? newValue = Convert.ChangeType(value, typeof(MyEnum));

object? newValue = Convert.ChangeType(value, typeof(MyEnum));

object? newValue = Convert.ChangeType(value, typeof(MyEnum));

object? newValue = Convert.ChangeType(value, typeof(MyEnum));

But this errors saying: `System.InvalidCastException: Invalid cast from 'System.Int32' to 'MyEnum'.
