C# Help with Weapons - SHVDN3

I'm capturing a weapon selection from LemonUi Menu and rather than use switch, or select case, or hard coded if statements, I'd like to pass the selected weapon as a string variable. However I can't get this to work.
The Weapon Give function comes in 2 flavours.
This should be the simple one because my selection is returned as a string.
public Weapon Give(string name, int ammoCount, bool equipNow, bool isAmmoLoaded);This is how I capture the selection and this works perfectly if i use if statements.
String MyChoice = WeaponsSubmenu.SelectedItem;
However, this does NOT work:
PP.Weapons.Give(MyChoice, 500, true, true); } //no compile error, no runtime error, just returns nothing
Given it is expecting a string (first argument for function is a string) and I'm passing a string, what gives? Why doesn't it work.
The other possibility is to use the weapon hash.
public Weapon Give(WeaponHash weaponHash, int ammoCount, bool equipNow, bool isAmmoLoaded);For example, SniperRifle = 100416529 and this works:
PP.Weapons.Give(100416529, 500, true, true);But the issue now is I don't know how to get the hash from the string MyChoice - because I'm not a programmer!
Would love answers to both questions. Why the string doesn't work and how I can get the hash value for the weapon in MyChoice.
My working code, which I don't want hardcoded, looks like this:
if (MyChoice == "SMG") { PP.Weapons.Give(WeaponHash.SMGMk2, 5000, true, true);

Solved
WeaponHash wepHash = (WeaponHash)Enum.Parse(typeof(WeaponHash), MyChoice);
PP.Weapons.Give(wepHash, 1000, true, true);Still don't understand why I can't pass a string to a string argument, but it works and now I have one line of code to replace over 20.
