Looking to substitute Enum value for a variable in C#

I have an existing method which essentially hardcodes an Enum value into it.

What I want to do, however, is to pass an Enum value to the method. Then, substitute the passed in value for the hardcoded field. The value that I want to substitute is: ImpactType.Item3ModerateLimited (at the end of the code).

Way method is right now:

strRemedyTktResponse = IssueRemedyTicket(sb1.ToString());

private string IssueRemedyTicket(string webServiceErrInfo)
        {
            string strResponse = string.Empty;

            IncidentService.HPD_IncidentInterface_Create_WSService webService = new IncidentService.HPD_IncidentInterface_Create_WSService();

            try
            {
                webService.AuthenticationInfoValue = new IncidentService.AuthenticationInfo();
                webService.AuthenticationInfoValue.userName = "smocustomer";
                webService.AuthenticationInfoValue.password = "ryder123";
                webService.Timeout = 1000 * 60;

                strResponse = webService.HelpDesk_Submit_Service(
                     new[] { ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AssignedGroup"].ToString() }  //Assigned_Group
                    , "" //Assigned_Group_Shift_Name
                    , "Ryder System, Inc." //Assigned_Support_Company
                    , "FMS" //Assigned_Support_Organization
                    , "" //Assignee
                    , "Software" //Categorization_Tier_1
                    , "Handheld Computer" //Categorization_Tier_2
                    , "Webservice Failure" //Categorization_Tier_3
                    , "" //CI_Name
                    , "" //Closure_Manufacturer
                    , "" //Closure_Product_Category_Tier1
                    , "" //Closure_Product_Category_Tier1
                    , "" //Closure_Product_Category_Tier3
                    , "" //Product_Model_Version
                    , "" //Closure_Product_Name
                    , "" //Department
                    , "SMO" //First_Name
                    , ImpactType.Item3ModerateLimited

Definition of ImpactType field:

[System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("System.Xml", "4.0.30319.18408")]
    [System.SerializableAttribute()]
    [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(Namespace="urn:HPD_IncidentInterface_Create_WS")]
    public enum ImpactType {

        /// <remarks/>
        [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlEnumAttribute("1-Extensive/Widespread")]
        Item1ExtensiveWidespread,

        /// <remarks/>
        [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlEnumAttribute("2-Significant/Large")]
        Item2SignificantLarge,

        /// <remarks/>
        [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlEnumAttribute("3-Moderate/Limited")]
        Item3ModerateLimited,

        /// <remarks/>
        [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlEnumAttribute("4-Minor/Localized")]
        Item4MinorLocalized,
    }

*I was thinking about doing something like below, but am getting the following error on the "Name" property.

Cannot convert from 'string' to 'ImpactType' *

private string IssueRemedyTicket(string webServiceErrInfo, int impactType)
        {
            string strResponse = string.Empty;

            IncidentService.HPD_IncidentInterface_Create_WSService webService = new IncidentService.HPD_IncidentInterface_Create_WSService();

            try
            {
                webService.AuthenticationInfoValue = new IncidentService.AuthenticationInfo();
                webService.AuthenticationInfoValue.userName = "smocustomer";
                webService.AuthenticationInfoValue.password = "ryder123";
                webService.Timeout = 1000 * 60;

                var value = "";
                if (impactType == 2)
                    value = ImpactType.Item2SignificantLarge.ToString();
                else
                    value = ImpactType.Item3ModerateLimited.ToString();

                strResponse = webService.HelpDesk_Submit_Service(
                     new[] { ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AssignedGroup"].ToString() }  //Assigned_Group

See https://stackoverflow.com/a/16039343/380384

you want to convert an int into an enum of ImpactType. All you need is this:

ImpactType type = (ImpactType)impactType;

or

, ...
, "SMO" //First_Name
, (ImpactType)impactType
