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));

我使用了在之前的回答中提到的结构，但去掉了任何复杂性。对我来说，这就像创建一个字符串枚举。它的使用方式与枚举的使用方式相同。

    struct ViewTypes
    {
        public const string View1 = "Whatever string you like";
        public const string View2 = "another string";
    }

使用示例:

   switch( some_string_variable )
   {
      case ViewTypes.View1: /* do something */ break;
      case ViewTypes.View2: /* do something else */ break;
   }

可以向枚举中的项添加属性，然后使用反射从属性中获取值。

你必须使用"field"说明符来应用属性，如下所示:

enum GroupTypes
{
    [field:Description("OEM")]
    TheGroup,

    [field:Description("CMB")]
    TheOtherGroup
}

然后你将反射枚举类型的静态字段(在本例中是GroupTypes)，并使用反射获取你正在寻找的值的DescriptionAttribute:

public static DescriptionAttribute GetEnumDescriptionAttribute<T>(
    this T value) where T : struct
{
    // The type of the enum, it will be reused.
    Type type = typeof(T);

    // If T is not an enum, get out.
    if (!type.IsEnum) 
        throw new InvalidOperationException(
            "The type parameter T must be an enum type.");

    // If the value isn't defined throw an exception.
    if (!Enum.IsDefined(type, value))
        throw new InvalidEnumArgumentException(
            "value", Convert.ToInt32(value), type);

    // Get the static field for the value.
    FieldInfo fi = type.GetField(value.ToString(), 
        BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.Public);

    // Get the description attribute, if there is one.
    return fi.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DescriptionAttribute), true).
        Cast<DescriptionAttribute>().SingleOrDefault();
}

我选择在上面返回DescriptionAttribute本身，以便您能够确定是否应用了该属性。

使用类。

编辑:更好的例子

class StarshipType
{
    private string _Name;
    private static List<StarshipType> _StarshipTypes = new List<StarshipType>();

    public static readonly StarshipType Ultralight = new StarshipType("Ultralight");
    public static readonly StarshipType Light = new StarshipType("Light");
    public static readonly StarshipType Mediumweight = new StarshipType("Mediumweight");
    public static readonly StarshipType Heavy = new StarshipType("Heavy");
    public static readonly StarshipType Superheavy = new StarshipType("Superheavy");

    public string Name
    {
        get { return _Name; }
        private set { _Name = value; }
    }

    public static IList<StarshipType> StarshipTypes
    {
        get { return _StarshipTypes; }
    }

    private StarshipType(string name, int systemRatio)
    {
        Name = name;
        _StarshipTypes.Add(this);
    }

    public static StarshipType Parse(string toParse)
    {
        foreach (StarshipType s in StarshipTypes)
        {
            if (toParse == s.Name)
                return s;
        }
        throw new FormatException("Could not parse string.");
    }
}

我不需要任何健壮的东西，比如将字符串存储在属性中。我只需要转动MyEnum之类的东西。BillEveryWeek变成“每周账单”或MyEnum。将elegacysystem转换为“使用遗留系统”——基本上通过驼峰式大小写将枚举拆分为单个小写单词。

public static string UnCamelCase(this Enum input, string delimiter = " ", bool preserveCasing = false)
{
    var characters = input.ToString().Select((x, i) =>
    {

       if (i > 0 && char.IsUpper(x))
       {
           return delimiter + x.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
       }
       return x.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

    });

    var result = preserveCasing
       ? string.Concat(characters)
       : string.Concat(characters).ToLower();

    var lastComma = result.LastIndexOf(", ", StringComparison.Ordinal);

    if (lastComma > -1)
    {
       result = result.Remove(lastComma, 2).Insert(lastComma, " and ");
    }

    return result;
}

myenume . uselegacysystem . uncamelcase()输出"使用遗留系统"

如果设置了多个标志，它会将其转换为普通英语(逗号分隔，除了最后一个逗号中的“and”)。

var myCustomerBehaviour = MyEnum.BillEveryWeek | MyEnum.UseLegacySystem | MyEnum.ChargeTaxes;

Console.WriteLine(myCustomerBehaviour.UnCamelCase());
//outputs "bill every week, use legacy system and charge taxes"

如果我理解正确，你需要一个从字符串到enum的转换:

enum GroupTypes {
    Unknown = 0,
    OEM = 1,
    CMB = 2
}
static GroupTypes StrToEnum(string str){
    GroupTypes g = GroupTypes.Unknown;
    try {
        object o = Enum.Parse(typeof(GroupTypes), str, true);
        g = (GroupTypes)(o ?? 0);
    } catch {
    }
    return g;
}
// then use it like this
GroupTypes g1 = StrToEnum("OEM");
GroupTypes g2 = StrToEnum("bad value");

如果您愿意，可以使用枚举类型的泛型使其更加花哨。
