title: set enum variable with only a description vb.net
body: <p>I'm trying to set and <code>enum</code> and all that is in the database is the description.</p>
  
  <pre><code>public enum testcode
     &lt;Description("T60")&gt; passed
  end enum
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Using this, it errors out.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>tcode = CType(System.Enum.Parse(GetType(testcode), tstcode), testcode)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>How do I set tcode with only the desc of T60? I can't change anything about the enum or the database.</p>
