我甚至按照@Even(通过类X和公共静态X成员)的建议实现了一些枚举，只是为了后来发现，从。net 4.5开始，有了正确的ToString()方法。

现在我将所有内容重新实现为枚举。

基于https://stackoverflow.com/a/1343517/1818723，我提出了一个枚举与TryParse方法

public class FancyStringEnum
{
    private FancyStringEnum(string value) { Value = value; }

    public string Value { get; private set; }

    private static List<FancyStringEnum> choices = new List<FancyStringEnum>
    {
        new FancyStringEnum("Small") ,
        new FancyStringEnum("Big Thing") ,
        new FancyStringEnum("Value with Spaces")
    };

    public static FancyStringEnum Small { get { return choices[0]; } }
    public static FancyStringEnum BigThing { get { return choices[1]; } }
    public static FancyStringEnum ValueWithSpaces { get { return choices[2]; } }

    public override string ToString()
    {
        return Value;
    }

    public static bool TryParse(string value, bool ignoreCase, out FancyStringEnum result)
    {
        var sc = StringComparison.InvariantCulture;
        if (ignoreCase)
            sc = StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase;

        foreach (var choice in choices)
        {

            if (choice.Value.Equals(value, sc))
            {
                result = choice;
                return true;
            }
        }

        result = new FancyStringEnum(null);
        return false;
    }

    public static FancyStringEnum Parse(string value, bool ignoreCase)
    {
        var sc = StringComparison.InvariantCulture;
        if (ignoreCase)
            sc = StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase;

        foreach (var choice in choices)
        {

            if (choice.Value.Equals(value, sc))
            {
                return choice;
            }
        }

        return new FancyStringEnum(null);
    }
}

传入类型安全的字符串值作为参数:

public static void Do(string message, FancyStringEnum value)
{
    if (value == FancyStringEnum.Small)
    {
        //do something
    } else if (value == FancyStringEnum.BigThing)
    {
        //do something else
    }
}

TryParse和Parse在行动:

string something = "something"; //substiture with "small" to see it parsed 
if (FancyStringEnum.TryParse(something, true, out var se))
    Console.WriteLine(se.Value);
else
    Console.WriteLine($"unable to parse {something}");

//or    

var v2 = FancyStringEnum.Parse(something, true);
if (v2.Value == null)
    Console.WriteLine($"unable to parse {something}");
else
    Console.WriteLine(v2.Value); //do something with parsed enum

    

是否可以提取基类，用更少的代码创建StringEnums

我只需创建一个字典，并使用代码作为键。

编辑:为了解决关于执行反向查找(查找键)的注释，这将不是非常有效。如果有必要，我将编写一个新类来处理它。

你也可以使用扩展模型:

public enum MyEnum
{
    [Description("String 1")]
    V1= 1,
    [Description("String 2")]
    V2= 2
} 

你的扩展类

public static class MyEnumExtensions
{
    public static string ToDescriptionString(this MyEnum val)
    {
        DescriptionAttribute[] attributes = (DescriptionAttribute[])val
           .GetType()
           .GetField(val.ToString())
           .GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DescriptionAttribute), false);
        return attributes.Length > 0 ? attributes[0].Description : string.Empty;
    }
} 

用法:

MyEnum myLocal = MyEnum.V1;
print(myLocal.ToDescriptionString());

我喜欢在类中使用属性而不是方法，因为它们看起来更像枚举。

下面是一个Logger的例子:

public class LogCategory
{
    private LogCategory(string value) { Value = value; }

    public string Value { get; private set; }

    public static LogCategory Trace   { get { return new LogCategory("Trace"); } }
    public static LogCategory Debug   { get { return new LogCategory("Debug"); } }
    public static LogCategory Info    { get { return new LogCategory("Info"); } }
    public static LogCategory Warning { get { return new LogCategory("Warning"); } }
    public static LogCategory Error   { get { return new LogCategory("Error"); } }

    public override string ToString()
    {
        return Value;
    }
}

传入类型安全的字符串值作为参数:

public static void Write(string message, LogCategory logCategory)
{
    var log = new LogEntry { Message = message };
    Logger.Write(log, logCategory.Value);
}

用法:

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

这是一种将它用作强类型参数或字符串的方法:

public class ClassLikeEnum
{
    public string Value
    {
        get;
        private set;
    }

    ClassLikeEnum(string value) 
    {
        Value = value;
    }

    public static implicit operator string(ClassLikeEnum c)
    {
        return c.Value;
    }

    public static readonly ClassLikeEnum C1 = new ClassLikeEnum("RandomString1");
    public static readonly ClassLikeEnum C2 = new ClassLikeEnum("RandomString2");
}
