How to get the DataSourceId?

private SqlDataSource GetDataSource()
       {

           object o = Session["selectedDataSource"];
           DataSourceType dsType = DataSourceType.Gtable;            

              if (o != null)
                   dsType = (DataSourceType)o;

              switch (dsType)
              {
                  case DataSourceType.tableT:
                      return DataSourceTID;
                  case DataSourceType.tableR:
                      return DataSourceRID;
                  case DataSourceType.tableC:
              开发者_运维知识库        return DataSourceCID;
                  default:
                      return DataSourceCID;
              }        
       }

For getting the datasourceid I wrote that code.But that gives the error as "Specified cast is not valid".This error is arise at dsType=(DataSourceType)o line. Please give me any suggextions.

Use enum parse method

DataSourceType dsType = (DataSourceType) Enum.Parse(typeof(DataSourceType), o);
