如果我理解正确，你需要一个从字符串到enum的转换:

enum GroupTypes {
    Unknown = 0,
    OEM = 1,
    CMB = 2
}
static GroupTypes StrToEnum(string str){
    GroupTypes g = GroupTypes.Unknown;
    try {
        object o = Enum.Parse(typeof(GroupTypes), str, true);
        g = (GroupTypes)(o ?? 0);
    } catch {
    }
    return g;
}
// then use it like this
GroupTypes g1 = StrToEnum("OEM");
GroupTypes g2 = StrToEnum("bad value");

如果您愿意，可以使用枚举类型的泛型使其更加花哨。

基于https://stackoverflow.com/a/1343517/1818723，我提出了一个枚举与TryParse方法

public class FancyStringEnum
{
    private FancyStringEnum(string value) { Value = value; }

    public string Value { get; private set; }

    private static List<FancyStringEnum> choices = new List<FancyStringEnum>
    {
        new FancyStringEnum("Small") ,
        new FancyStringEnum("Big Thing") ,
        new FancyStringEnum("Value with Spaces")
    };

    public static FancyStringEnum Small { get { return choices[0]; } }
    public static FancyStringEnum BigThing { get { return choices[1]; } }
    public static FancyStringEnum ValueWithSpaces { get { return choices[2]; } }

    public override string ToString()
    {
        return Value;
    }

    public static bool TryParse(string value, bool ignoreCase, out FancyStringEnum result)
    {
        var sc = StringComparison.InvariantCulture;
        if (ignoreCase)
            sc = StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase;

        foreach (var choice in choices)
        {

            if (choice.Value.Equals(value, sc))
            {
                result = choice;
                return true;
            }
        }

        result = new FancyStringEnum(null);
        return false;
    }

    public static FancyStringEnum Parse(string value, bool ignoreCase)
    {
        var sc = StringComparison.InvariantCulture;
        if (ignoreCase)
            sc = StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase;

        foreach (var choice in choices)
        {

            if (choice.Value.Equals(value, sc))
            {
                return choice;
            }
        }

        return new FancyStringEnum(null);
    }
}

传入类型安全的字符串值作为参数:

public static void Do(string message, FancyStringEnum value)
{
    if (value == FancyStringEnum.Small)
    {
        //do something
    } else if (value == FancyStringEnum.BigThing)
    {
        //do something else
    }
}

TryParse和Parse在行动:

string something = "something"; //substiture with "small" to see it parsed 
if (FancyStringEnum.TryParse(something, true, out var se))
    Console.WriteLine(se.Value);
else
    Console.WriteLine($"unable to parse {something}");

//or    

var v2 = FancyStringEnum.Parse(something, true);
if (v2.Value == null)
    Console.WriteLine($"unable to parse {something}");
else
    Console.WriteLine(v2.Value); //do something with parsed enum

    

是否可以提取基类，用更少的代码创建StringEnums

根据其他人的意见，这是我想到的。这种方法避免了在想要获得常量值的地方键入. value。

我有一个基类的所有字符串枚举像这样:

using System;
using Newtonsoft.Json;

[JsonConverter(typeof(ConstantConverter))]
public class StringEnum: IConvertible
{
    public string Value { get; set; }

    protected StringEnum(string value)
    {
        Value = value;
    }

    public static implicit operator string(StringEnum c)
    {
        return c.Value;
    }
    public string ToString(IFormatProvider provider)
    {
        return Value;
    }

    public TypeCode GetTypeCode()
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

    public bool ToBoolean(IFormatProvider provider)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
    //The same for all the rest of IConvertible methods
}

JsonConverter是这样的:

using System;
using Newtonsoft.Json;

class ConstantConverter : JsonConverter
{
    public override bool CanConvert(Type objectType)
    {
        return true;
    }

    public override object ReadJson(JsonReader reader, Type objectType, object existingValue, JsonSerializer serializer)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

    public override void WriteJson(JsonWriter writer, object value, JsonSerializer serializer)
    {
        if (value == null)
        {
            serializer.Serialize(writer, null);
        }
        else
        {
            serializer.Serialize(writer, value.ToString());
        }
    }
}

一个实际的string enum是这样的:

public sealed class Colors : StringEnum
{
    public static Colors Red { get { return new Catalog("Red"); } }
    public static Colors Yellow { get { return new Catalog("Yellow"); } }
    public static Colors White { get { return new Catalog("White"); } }

    private Colors(string value) : base(value) { }
}

有了这个，你可以使用颜色。红色甚至序列化到json而不使用Value属性

这是一种将它用作强类型参数或字符串的方法:

public class ClassLikeEnum
{
    public string Value
    {
        get;
        private set;
    }

    ClassLikeEnum(string value) 
    {
        Value = value;
    }

    public static implicit operator string(ClassLikeEnum c)
    {
        return c.Value;
    }

    public static readonly ClassLikeEnum C1 = new ClassLikeEnum("RandomString1");
    public static readonly ClassLikeEnum C2 = new ClassLikeEnum("RandomString2");
}

我会把它变成一个类，完全避免使用枚举。然后使用类型处理程序，你可以在从db中获取对象时创建对象。

即:

public class Group
{
    public string Value{ get; set; }
    public Group( string value ){ Value = value; } 
    public static Group TheGroup() { return new Group("OEM"); }
    public static Group OtherGroup() { return new Group("CMB"); }

}

您是否考虑过使用字典查找表?

enum GroupTypes
{
    TheGroup,
    TheOtherGroup
}

Dictionary<string, GroupTypes> GroupTypeLookup = new Dictionary<string, GroupTypes>();
// initialize lookup table:
GroupTypeLookup.Add("OEM", TheGroup);
GroupTypeLookup.Add("CMB", TheOtherGroup);

然后，您可以使用GroupTypeLookup.TryGetValue()在读取字符串时查找它。
