Re: [Vala] C# developer, newbie question

I believe it's because the string produced in your first assignment to
strState is the C transformed enum value which concatenates the type and
value with an "_".  It does this to map the nested name space of Vala enums
into the flat C name space.  You would need to remove the type + "_" from
the returned string to create the associated enum value.
