我想知道是否有可能获得枚举值的属性，而不是枚举本身?例如，假设我有以下枚举:
using System.ComponentModel; // for DescriptionAttribute
enum FunkyAttributesEnum
{
[Description("Name With Spaces1")]
NameWithoutSpaces1,
[Description("Name With Spaces2")]
NameWithoutSpaces2
}
我想要的是给定枚举类型，产生枚举字符串值及其描述的二元组。
价值很简单:
Array values = System.Enum.GetValues(typeof(FunkyAttributesEnum));
foreach (int value in values)
Tuple.Value = Enum.GetName(typeof(FunkyAttributesEnum), value);
但我如何获得描述属性的值，以填充Tuple.Desc?如果属性属于枚举本身，我可以想到如何做到这一点，但我不知道如何从枚举的值中获得它。
我这回答设置一个组合框从枚举属性，这是伟大的。
然后，我需要编写反向代码，以便从框中获得选择并返回正确类型的enum。
我还修改了代码，以处理缺少属性的情况
为了下一个人的利益，这是我的最终解决方案
public static class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// display the description attribute from the enum
foreach (Colour type in (Colour[])Enum.GetValues(typeof(Colour)))
{
Console.WriteLine(EnumExtensions.ToName(type));
}
// Get the array from the description
string xStr = "Yellow";
Colour thisColour = EnumExtensions.FromName<Colour>(xStr);
Console.ReadLine();
}
public enum Colour
{
[Description("Colour Red")]
Red = 0,
[Description("Colour Green")]
Green = 1,
[Description("Colour Blue")]
Blue = 2,
Yellow = 3
}
}
public static class EnumExtensions
{
// This extension method is broken out so you can use a similar pattern with
// other MetaData elements in the future. This is your base method for each.
public static T GetAttribute<T>(this Enum value) where T : Attribute
{
var type = value.GetType();
var memberInfo = type.GetMember(value.ToString());
var attributes = memberInfo[0].GetCustomAttributes(typeof(T), false);
// check if no attributes have been specified.
if (((Array)attributes).Length > 0)
{
return (T)attributes[0];
}
else
{
return null;
}
}
// This method creates a specific call to the above method, requesting the
// Description MetaData attribute.
public static string ToName(this Enum value)
{
var attribute = value.GetAttribute<DescriptionAttribute>();
return attribute == null ? value.ToString() : attribute.Description;
}
/// <summary>
/// Find the enum from the description attribute.
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="T"></typeparam>
/// <param name="desc"></param>
/// <returns></returns>
public static T FromName<T>(this string desc) where T : struct
{
string attr;
Boolean found = false;
T result = (T)Enum.GetValues(typeof(T)).GetValue(0);
foreach (object enumVal in Enum.GetValues(typeof(T)))
{
attr = ((Enum)enumVal).ToName();
if (attr == desc)
{
result = (T)enumVal;
found = true;
break;
}
}
if (!found)
{
throw new Exception();
}
return result;
}
}
}
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
