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);

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);

这个扩展方法将使用枚举值的XmlEnumAttribute获得枚举值的字符串表示形式。如果没有XmlEnumAttribute，则返回到枚举. tostring()。

public static string ToStringUsingXmlEnumAttribute<T>(this T enumValue)
    where T: struct, IConvertible
{
    if (!typeof(T).IsEnum)
    {
        throw new ArgumentException("T must be an enumerated type");
    }

    string name;

    var type = typeof(T);

    var memInfo = type.GetMember(enumValue.ToString());

    if (memInfo.Length == 1)
    {
        var attributes = memInfo[0].GetCustomAttributes(typeof(System.Xml.Serialization.XmlEnumAttribute), false);

        if (attributes.Length == 1)
        {
            name = ((System.Xml.Serialization.XmlEnumAttribute)attributes[0]).Name;
        }
        else
        {
            name = enumValue.ToString();
        }
    }
    else
    {
        name = enumValue.ToString();
    }

    return name;
}

这应该能满足你的需要。

try
{
  var enumType = typeof(FunkyAttributesEnum);
  var memberInfos = 
  enumType.GetMember(FunkyAttributesEnum.NameWithoutSpaces1.ToString());
  var enumValueMemberInfo = memberInfos.FirstOrDefault(m => 
  m.DeclaringType == enumType);
  var valueAttributes = 
  enumValueMemberInfo.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DescriptionAttribute), false);
  var description = ((DescriptionAttribute)valueAttributes[0]).Description;
}
catch
{
    return FunkyAttributesEnum.NameWithoutSpaces1.ToString()
}

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}')]!");
    }
}
