C# Enum – How to Compare Value

by

use this

if (userProfile.AccountType == AccountType.Retailer)
{
     ...
}

If you want to get int from your AccountType enum and compare it (don’t know why) do this:

if((int)userProfile.AccountType == 1)
{ 
     ...
}

Objet reference not set to an instance of an object exception is because your userProfile is null and you are getting property of null. Check in debug why it’s not set.

EDIT (thanks to @Rik and @KonradMorawski) :

Maybe you can do some check before:

if(userProfile!=null)
{
}

or 

if(userProfile==null)
{
   throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(userProfile)); // or any other exception
}
