如果你的枚举包含一个像Equals这样的值，你可能会在很多答案中使用一些扩展遇到一些错误。这是因为通常假设typeof(YourEnum). getmember (YourEnum. value)将只返回一个值，即枚举的MemberInfo。这是一个稍微安全一点的亚当·克劳福德的回答。

public static class AttributeExtensions
{
    #region Methods

    public static T GetAttribute<T>(this Enum enumValue) where T : Attribute
    {
        var type = enumValue.GetType();
        var memberInfo = type.GetMember(enumValue.ToString());
        var member = memberInfo.FirstOrDefault(m => m.DeclaringType == type);
        var attribute = Attribute.GetCustomAttribute(member, typeof(T), false);
        return attribute is T ? (T)attribute : null;
    }

    #endregion
}

流利的一句话…

这里我使用的DisplayAttribute包含Name和Description属性。

public static DisplayAttribute GetDisplayAttributesFrom(this Enum enumValue, Type enumType)
{
    return enumType.GetMember(enumValue.ToString())
                   .First()
                   .GetCustomAttribute<DisplayAttribute>();
}

例子

public enum ModesOfTransport
{
    [Display(Name = "Driving",    Description = "Driving a car")]        Land,
    [Display(Name = "Flying",     Description = "Flying on a plane")]    Air,
    [Display(Name = "Sea cruise", Description = "Cruising on a dinghy")] Sea
}

void Main()
{
    ModesOfTransport TransportMode = ModesOfTransport.Sea;
    DisplayAttribute metadata = TransportMode.GetDisplayAttributesFrom(typeof(ModesOfTransport));
    Console.WriteLine("Name: {0} \nDescription: {1}", metadata.Name, metadata.Description);
}

输出

Name: Sea cruise 
Description: Cruising on a dinghy

这段代码应该为任何枚举提供了一个不错的扩展方法，使您可以检索泛型属性。我相信它与上面的lambda函数不同，因为它使用起来更简单，而且稍微-你只需要传入泛型类型。

public static class EnumHelper
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Gets an attribute on an enum field value
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T">The type of the attribute you want to retrieve</typeparam>
    /// <param name="enumVal">The enum value</param>
    /// <returns>The attribute of type T that exists on the enum value</returns>
    /// <example><![CDATA[string desc = myEnumVariable.GetAttributeOfType<DescriptionAttribute>().Description;]]></example>
    public static T GetAttributeOfType<T>(this Enum enumVal) where T:System.Attribute
    {
        var type = enumVal.GetType();
        var memInfo = type.GetMember(enumVal.ToString());
        var attributes = memInfo[0].GetCustomAttributes(typeof(T), false);
        return (attributes.Length > 0) ? (T)attributes[0] : null;
    }
}

用法如下:

string desc = myEnumVariable.GetAttributeOfType<DescriptionAttribute>().Description;

对于一些程序员的幽默，一行代码就像一个笑话:

public static string GetDescription(this Enum value) => value.GetType().GetMember(value.ToString()).First().GetCustomAttribute<DescriptionAttribute>() is DescriptionAttribute attribute ? attribute.Description : string.Empty;

以更易读的形式:

using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Linq;
using System.Reflection;

public static class EnumExtensions
{
    // get description from enum:

    public static string GetDescription(this Enum value)
    {
        return value.GetType().
            GetMember(value.ToString()).
            First().
            GetCustomAttribute<DescriptionAttribute>() is DescriptionAttribute attribute
            ? attribute.Description
            : throw new Exception($"Enum member '{value.GetType()}.{value}' doesn't have a [DescriptionAttribute]!");
    }

    // get enum from description:

    public static T GetEnum<T>(this string description) where T : Enum
    {
        foreach (FieldInfo fieldInfo in typeof(T).GetFields())
        {
            if (fieldInfo.GetCustomAttribute<DescriptionAttribute>() is DescriptionAttribute attribute && attribute.Description == description)
                return (T)fieldInfo.GetRawConstantValue();
        }

        throw new Exception($"Enum '{typeof(T)}' doesn't have a member with a [DescriptionAttribute('{description}')]!");
    }
}

这就是我在不使用。net core 3.1的自定义helper或扩展的情况下解决它的方法。

类

public enum YourEnum
{
    [Display(Name = "Suryoye means Arameans")]
    SURYOYE = 0,
    [Display(Name = "Oromoye means Syriacs")]
    OROMOYE = 1,
}

剃须刀

@using Enumerations

foreach (var name in Html.GetEnumSelectList(typeof(YourEnum)))
{
    <h1>@name.Text</h1>
}

这是一个使用lambda进行选择的通用实现

public static Expected GetAttributeValue<T, Expected>(this Enum enumeration, Func<T, Expected> expression)
    where T : Attribute
{
    T attribute =
      enumeration
        .GetType()
        .GetMember(enumeration.ToString())
        .Where(member => member.MemberType == MemberTypes.Field)
        .FirstOrDefault()
        .GetCustomAttributes(typeof(T), false)
        .Cast<T>()
        .SingleOrDefault();

    if (attribute == null)
        return default(Expected);

    return expression(attribute);
}

这样叫它:

string description = targetLevel.GetAttributeValue<DescriptionAttribute, string>(x => x.Description);
