I have an enum

```
public enum BookType
{
    Old = 'O',
    New = 'N',
    All = 'B'
}

```

What I need to do is get the value of the char in the enum. For example if the enum is set to:

```
BookType bt = BookType.New

```

I need to get the value of new "N"

```
string val = (???)bt;

```

I need val = N

What is the best way to do this? If it was an int easy, just cast to int.

Thanks.
