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");
}

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。

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);

使用带有常量的静态类如何?

static class GroupTypes
{
  public const string TheGroup = "OEM";
  public const string TheOtherGroup = "CMB";
}

void DoSomething(string groupType)
{
  if(groupType == GroupTypes.TheGroup)
  {
    // Be nice
  }  
  else if (groupType == GroupTypes.TheOtherGroup)
  {
    // Continue to be nice
  }
  else
  {
    // unexpected, throw exception?
  }
}

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";

}

c#不支持枚举字符串，但在大多数情况下，您可以使用List或Dictionary来获得所需的效果。

打印通过/失败结果:

List<string> PassFail = new List<string> { "FAIL", "PASS" };
bool result = true;
Console.WriteLine("Test1: " + PassFail[result.GetHashCode()]);
