C # TypeConverter long to enum type doesn't work in ChangeType

I am new to C # and .NET. I am trying to convert work from integer to enum. The conversion should be done using ChangeType (outside of my demo below this is fixed as within the framework of the data binding framework) and from what I read it should work with what I do, but I get an exception and if I put breakpoints in the functions of my transform class, nothing is called.

Thanks in advance! Matthew.

            FEET
        };

        {
            public UnitEnumConverter(System.Type type)
                : base(type.GetType())

                return base.CanConvertFrom(context, sourceType);
            }

            public override object ConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext context, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture, object value)

                return base.ConvertFrom(context, culture, value);
            }

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            LengthUnits units = new LengthUnits();

            long x = 1;

            units = (LengthUnits)System.Convert.ChangeType(x, typeof(LengthUnits));

        }
