public static T ParseEnum<T>(string value)            //function declaration  
{
    return (T) Enum.Parse(typeof(T), value);
}

Importance imp = EnumUtil.ParseEnum<Importance>("Active");   //function call

==================== 一个完整的程序 ====================

using System;

class Program
{
    enum PetType
    {
    None,
    Cat = 1,
    Dog = 2
    }

    static void Main()
    {

    // Possible user input:
    string value = "Dog";

    // Try to convert the string to an enum:
    PetType pet = (PetType)Enum.Parse(typeof(PetType), value);

    // See if the conversion succeeded:
    if (pet == PetType.Dog)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Equals dog.");
    }
    }
}
-------------
Output

Equals dog.

你现在可以使用扩展方法了:

public static T ToEnum<T>(this string value, bool ignoreCase = true)
{
    return (T) Enum.Parse(typeof (T), value, ignoreCase);
}

你可以通过下面的代码调用它们(在这里，FilterType是一个枚举类型):

FilterType filterType = type.ToEnum<FilterType>();

首先，你需要装饰你的枚举，像这样:

    public enum Store : short
{
    [Description("Rio Big Store")]
    Rio = 1
}

在。net 5中，我创建了这个扩展方法:

//The class also needs to be static, ok?
public static string GetDescription(this System.Enum enumValue)
    {
        FieldInfo fi = enumValue.GetType().GetField(enumValue.ToString());

        DescriptionAttribute[] attributes = (DescriptionAttribute[])fi.GetCustomAttributes(
            typeof(DescriptionAttribute), false);

        if (attributes != null && attributes.Length > 0) return attributes[0].Description;
        else return enumValue.ToString();
    }

现在你有一个扩展方法可以在任何枚举中使用

是这样的:

var Desc = Store.Rio.GetDescription(); //Store is your Enum

如果属性名与你想要调用它的名称不同(即语言差异)，你可以这样做:

MyType.cs

using System;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using Newtonsoft.Json.Converters;

[JsonConverter(typeof(StringEnumConverter))]
public enum MyType
{
    [EnumMember(Value = "person")]
    Person,
    [EnumMember(Value = "annan_deltagare")]
    OtherPerson,
    [EnumMember(Value = "regel")]
    Rule,
}

EnumExtensions.cs

using System;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using Newtonsoft.Json.Converters;

public static class EnumExtensions
{
    public static TEnum ToEnum<TEnum>(this string value) where TEnum : Enum
    {
        var jsonString = $"'{value.ToLower()}'";
        return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<TEnum>(jsonString, new StringEnumConverter());
    }

    public static bool EqualsTo<TEnum>(this string strA, TEnum enumB) where TEnum : Enum
    {
        TEnum enumA;
        try
        {
            enumA = strA.ToEnum<TEnum>();
        }
        catch
        {
            return false;
        }
        return enumA.Equals(enumB);
    }
}

Program.cs

public class Program
{
    static public void Main(String[] args) 
    { 
        var myString = "annan_deltagare";
        var myType = myString.ToEnum<MyType>();
        var isEqual = myString.EqualsTo(MyType.OtherPerson);
        //Output: true
    }     
}

我们不能假设输入是完全有效的，于是就用了@Keith的答案的变体:

public static TEnum ParseEnum<TEnum>(string value) where TEnum : struct
{
    TEnum tmp; 
    if (!Enum.TryParse<TEnum>(value, true, out tmp))
    {
        tmp = new TEnum();
    }
    return tmp;
}

对于性能，这可能会有所帮助:

    private static Dictionary<Type, Dictionary<string, object>> dicEnum = new Dictionary<Type, Dictionary<string, object>>();
    public static T ToEnum<T>(this string value, T defaultValue)
    {
        var t = typeof(T);
        Dictionary<string, object> dic;
        if (!dicEnum.ContainsKey(t))
        {
            dic = new Dictionary<string, object>();
            dicEnum.Add(t, dic);
            foreach (var en in Enum.GetValues(t))
                dic.Add(en.ToString(), en);
        }
        else
            dic = dicEnum[t];
        if (!dic.ContainsKey(value))
            return defaultValue;
        else
            return (T)dic[value];
    }
