Sure, here is how you can cast int to enum in C#:

C#

using System;

public enum Colors
{
    Red,
    Green,
    Blue
}

public class CastIntToEnum
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Create an int.
        int myInt = 1;

        // Cast the int to an enum.
        Colors myColor = (Colors)myInt;

        // Print the enum.
        Console.WriteLine("The enum is {0}.", myColor);
    }
}

This code first creates an int. The int is assigned the value 1.

The code then casts the int to an enum. The (Colors)myInt cast operator is used to cast the int to an enum of type Colors.

Finally, the code prints the enum to the console.

Here is an explanation of the code:

The using statement is used to import the System namespace. The System namespace contains the Enum class.
The Enum class is used to represent enumerations.
The Colors enum is an enumeration that represents the colors red, green, and blue.
The (Colors)myInt cast operator is used to cast the int to an enum of type Colors.
The Console.WriteLine() method is used to print a string to the console.
