IRouteConstraint for enum

Question

I want to create an IRouteConstraint that filters a value against possible values of an enum. I tried to google it for myself, but that didn't result in anything.

Any ideas?

See this

Essentially, you need

  private Type enumType;

  public EnumConstraint(Type enumType)
  {
    this.enumType = enumType;
  }

  public bool Match(HttpContextBase httpContext, 
    Route route, 
    string parameterName,     
    RouteValueDictionary values, 
    RouteDirection routeDirection)
  {
    // You can also try Enum.IsDefined, but docs say nothing as to
    // is it case sensitive or not.
    return Enum.GetNames(enumType).Any(s => s.ToLowerInvariant() == values[parameterName].ToString());
  }
