尝试向静态类中添加常量。你最终不会得到一个Type，但你会得到可读的、有组织的常量:

public static class GroupTypes {

    public const string TheGroup = "OEM";
    public const string TheOtherGroup = "CMB";

}

public class DataType
{
    private readonly string value;
    private static readonly Dictionary<string, DataType> predefinedValues;

    public static readonly DataType Json = new DataType("json");
    public static readonly DataType Xml = new DataType("xml");
    public static readonly DataType Text = new DataType("text");
    public static readonly DataType Html = new DataType("html");
    public static readonly DataType Binary = new DataType("binary");

    static DataType()
    {
        predefinedValues = new Dictionary<string, DataType>();
        predefinedValues.Add(Json.Value, Json);
        predefinedValues.Add(Xml.Value, Xml);
        predefinedValues.Add(Text.Value, Text);
        predefinedValues.Add(Html.Value, Html);
        predefinedValues.Add(Binary.Value, Binary);
    }

    private DataType(string value)
    {
        this.value = value;
    }

    public static DataType Parse(string value)
    {
        var exception = new FormatException($"Invalid value for type {nameof(DataType)}");
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(value))
            throw exception;

        string key = value.ToLower();
        if (!predefinedValues.ContainsKey(key))
            throw exception;

        return predefinedValues[key];
    }

    public string Value
    {
        get { return value; }
    }
}

在VS 2015中，你可以使用nameof

public class LogCategory
{
    public static string Trace;
    public static string Debug;
    public static string Info;
    public static string Warning;
    public static string Error;
}

用法:

Logger.Write("This is almost like an enum.", nameof(LogCategory.Info));

摘自@EvenMien，并添加了一些评论。(也适用于我自己的用例)

public struct AgentAction
{
    private AgentAction(string value) { Value = value; }

    public string Value { get; private set; }

    public override string ToString() { return this.Value; }
    
    public static AgentAction Login = new AgentAction("Login");
    public static AgentAction Logout = new AgentAction("Logout");

    public static implicit operator string(AgentAction action) { return action.ToString(); }
}

为你的DB创建第二个枚举，包含以下内容:

enum DBGroupTypes
{
    OEM = 0,
    CMB = 1
}

现在，您可以使用Enum。解析以从字符串“OEM”和“CMB”中检索正确的DBGroupTypes值。然后，您可以将这些值转换为int，并从您希望在模型中进一步使用的正确枚举中检索正确的值。

添加这个类

public class DatabasePreference {
    public DatabasePreference([CallerMemberName] string preferenceName = "") {
        PreferenceName = preferenceName;
    }
    public string PreferenceName;
}

这项工作使用CallerMemberName来最小化编码

使用:

//Declare names
public static DatabasePreference ScannerDefaultFlashLight = new DatabasePreference();
public static DatabasePreference ScannerQrCodes = new DatabasePreference();
public static DatabasePreference Scanner1dCodes = new DatabasePreference();

测试:

Console.WriteLine(ScannerDefaultFlashLight.PreferenceName);
Console.WriteLine(ScannerDefaultFlashLight.Scanner1dCodes);

输出:

ScannerDefaultFlashLight
Scanner1dCodes
