This converter performs a case insensitive conversion, and accepts the name of an enumeration value, or its underlying value. In the latter case, the value does not need to be one of the defined values of the enumeration; use the ValidateEnumValueAttribute attribute to ensure only defined enumeration values can be used.

A comma-separated list of values is also accepted, which will be combined using a bitwise-or operation. This is accepted regardless of whether the enumeration uses the FlagsAttribute attribute.

If conversion fails, this converter will provide an error message that includes all the allowed values for the enumeration.
