I'm trying to utilize the System.Drawing.Drawing2D.HatchStyle enumeration in order to define a Brush type. The thing is, I need this to be dynamic in that I want to be able to change the HatchStyle changing a value in an XML file.

The XML looks somewhat like this:

System.Drawing.Drawing2D.HatchStyle.Weave



Anyway, I get the HatchStyle node but I can't get it to explicitly convert to the right type.

This is how I thought it would work:

System.Drawing.Drawing2D.HatchStyle objHatchStyle = (System.Drawing.Drawing2D.HatchStyle)Stylenode.InnerText;


but the line fails stating that it can't convert from type string to type HatchStyle.

Any ideas?
