我基本上是在寻找@ArthurC的反思答案

稍微扩展一下他的回答，你可以通过一个泛型函数来让它更好:

    // If you want for a specific Enum
    private static string EnumStringValue(GroupTypes e)
    {
        return EnumStringValue<GroupTypes>(e);
    }

    // Generic
    private static string EnumStringValue<T>(T enumInstance)
    {
        return Enum.GetName(typeof(T), enumInstance);
    } 

然后你就可以把你有的东西都包起来了

EnumStringValue(GroupTypes.TheGroup) // if you incorporate the top part

or

EnumStringValue<GroupTypes>(GroupTypes.TheGroup) // if you just use the generic

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.");
    }
}

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。

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。

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);
