我使用一个扩展方法:

public static class AttributesHelperExtension
    {
        public static string ToDescription(this Enum value)
        {
            var da = (DescriptionAttribute[])(value.GetType().GetField(value.ToString())).GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DescriptionAttribute), false);
            return da.Length > 0 ? da[0].Description : value.ToString();
        }
}

现在用:

public enum AuthenticationMethod
{
    [Description("FORMS")]
    FORMS = 1,
    [Description("WINDOWSAUTHENTICATION")]
    WINDOWSAUTHENTICATION = 2,
    [Description("SINGLESIGNON ")]
    SINGLESIGNON = 3
}

当你打电话时

AuthenticationMethod.FORMS.ToDescription()将得到“FORMS”。

当我遇到这样的问题时，我首先会试图找到以下几个问题的答案:

枚举值的名称是否足够友好，或者我需要提供更友好的名称? 我需要往返吗?也就是说，我是否需要将文本值解析为枚举值? 这是我需要为我的项目中的许多枚举做的事情，还是只有一个? 我将在什么样的UI元素中呈现这些信息-特别是，我将绑定到UI，还是使用属性表? 这需要本地化吗?

最简单的方法是使用Enum。GetValue(并使用枚举. parse支持往返)。正如Steve Mitcham所建议的那样，构建一个TypeConverter来支持UI绑定通常也是值得的。(在使用属性表时，没有必要构建TypeConverter，这是属性表的优点之一。尽管天晓得他们也有自己的问题。)

一般来说，如果上述问题的答案表明这是行不通的，我的下一步是创建和填充一个静态Dictionary<MyEnum，字符串>，或者可能是一个Dictionary<Type, Dictionary<int，字符串>>。我倾向于跳过中间的用属性装饰代码的步骤，因为接下来通常需要在部署后更改友好值(通常，但不总是，因为本地化)。

只需使用ToString()方法

public enum any{Tomato=0,Melon,Watermelon}

要引用字符串Tomato，只需使用

any.Tomato.ToString();

试试type-safe-enum模式。

public sealed class AuthenticationMethod {

    private readonly String name;
    private readonly int value;

    public static readonly AuthenticationMethod FORMS = new AuthenticationMethod (1, "FORMS");
    public static readonly AuthenticationMethod WINDOWSAUTHENTICATION = new AuthenticationMethod (2, "WINDOWS");
    public static readonly AuthenticationMethod SINGLESIGNON = new AuthenticationMethod (3, "SSN");        

    private AuthenticationMethod(int value, String name){
        this.name = name;
        this.value = value;
    }

    public override String ToString(){
        return name;
    }

}

更新 显式(或隐式)类型转换可以通过

adding static field with mapping private static readonly Dictionary<string, AuthenticationMethod> instance = new Dictionary<string,AuthenticationMethod>(); n.b. In order that the initialisation of the the "enum member" fields doesn't throw a NullReferenceException when calling the instance constructor, be sure to put the Dictionary field before the "enum member" fields in your class. This is because static field initialisers are called in declaration order, and before the static constructor, creating the weird and necessary but confusing situation that the instance constructor can be called before all static fields have been initialised, and before the static constructor is called. filling this mapping in instance constructor instance[name] = this; and adding user-defined type conversion operator public static explicit operator AuthenticationMethod(string str) { AuthenticationMethod result; if (instance.TryGetValue(str, out result)) return result; else throw new InvalidCastException(); }

您可以声明enum和字典，其中键将是枚举的值。以后，您可以参考字典来获取该值。因此，可以将形参作为枚举类型传递给函数，但要从字典中获取实际值:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace console_test
{
    class Program
    {
        #region SaveFormat
        internal enum SaveFormat
        {
            DOCX,
            PDF
        }

        internal static Dictionary<SaveFormat,string> DictSaveFormat = new Dictionary<SaveFormat, string>
        {
            { SaveFormat.DOCX,"This is value for DOCX enum item" },
            { SaveFormat.PDF,"This is value for PDF enum item" }
        };

        internal static void enum_value_test(SaveFormat save_format)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(DictSaveFormat[save_format]);
        }
        #endregion

        internal static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            enum_value_test(SaveFormat.DOCX);//Output: This is value for DOCX enum item
            Console.Write("Press any key to continue . . . ");
            Console.ReadKey(true);
        }
    }
}

我使用一个扩展方法:

public static class AttributesHelperExtension
    {
        public static string ToDescription(this Enum value)
        {
            var da = (DescriptionAttribute[])(value.GetType().GetField(value.ToString())).GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DescriptionAttribute), false);
            return da.Length > 0 ? da[0].Description : value.ToString();
        }
}

现在用:

public enum AuthenticationMethod
{
    [Description("FORMS")]
    FORMS = 1,
    [Description("WINDOWSAUTHENTICATION")]
    WINDOWSAUTHENTICATION = 2,
    [Description("SINGLESIGNON ")]
    SINGLESIGNON = 3
}

当你打电话时

AuthenticationMethod.FORMS.ToDescription()将得到“FORMS”。
