我使用系统中的Description属性。ComponentModel名称空间。简单地装饰枚举，然后使用下面的代码来检索它:

public static string GetDescription<T>(this object enumerationValue)
            where T : struct
        {
            Type type = enumerationValue.GetType();
            if (!type.IsEnum)
            {
                throw new ArgumentException("EnumerationValue must be of Enum type", "enumerationValue");
            }

            //Tries to find a DescriptionAttribute for a potential friendly name
            //for the enum
            MemberInfo[] memberInfo = type.GetMember(enumerationValue.ToString());
            if (memberInfo != null && memberInfo.Length > 0)
            {
                object[] attrs = memberInfo[0].GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DescriptionAttribute), false);

                if (attrs != null && attrs.Length > 0)
                {
                    //Pull out the description value
                    return ((DescriptionAttribute)attrs[0]).Description;
                }
            }
            //If we have no description attribute, just return the ToString of the enum
            return enumerationValue.ToString();

        }

举个例子:

public enum Cycle : int
{        
   [Description("Daily Cycle")]
   Daily = 1,
   Weekly,
   Monthly
}

这段代码很好地满足了不需要“友好名称”的枚举，只返回枚举的. tostring()。

试试type-safe-enum模式。

public sealed class AuthenticationMethod {

    private readonly String name;
    private readonly int value;

    public static readonly AuthenticationMethod FORMS = new AuthenticationMethod (1, "FORMS");
    public static readonly AuthenticationMethod WINDOWSAUTHENTICATION = new AuthenticationMethod (2, "WINDOWS");
    public static readonly AuthenticationMethod SINGLESIGNON = new AuthenticationMethod (3, "SSN");        

    private AuthenticationMethod(int value, String name){
        this.name = name;
        this.value = value;
    }

    public override String ToString(){
        return name;
    }

}

更新 显式(或隐式)类型转换可以通过

adding static field with mapping private static readonly Dictionary<string, AuthenticationMethod> instance = new Dictionary<string,AuthenticationMethod>(); n.b. In order that the initialisation of the the "enum member" fields doesn't throw a NullReferenceException when calling the instance constructor, be sure to put the Dictionary field before the "enum member" fields in your class. This is because static field initialisers are called in declaration order, and before the static constructor, creating the weird and necessary but confusing situation that the instance constructor can be called before all static fields have been initialised, and before the static constructor is called. filling this mapping in instance constructor instance[name] = this; and adding user-defined type conversion operator public static explicit operator AuthenticationMethod(string str) { AuthenticationMethod result; if (instance.TryGetValue(str, out result)) return result; else throw new InvalidCastException(); }

我同意基斯的意见，但我还不能投票。

我使用一个静态方法和swith语句来返回我想要的结果。在数据库中，我存储tinyint和我的代码只使用实际的enum，所以字符串是为UI需求。经过大量的测试，这导致了最好的性能和最好的控制输出。

public static string ToSimpleString(this enum)
{
     switch (enum)
     {
         case ComplexForms:
             return "ComplexForms";
             break;
     }
}

public static string ToFormattedString(this enum)
{
     switch (enum)
     {
         case ComplexForms:
             return "Complex Forms";
             break;
     }
}

然而，根据某些说法，这可能会导致维护的噩梦和一些代码异味。我试着留意那些很长很多的枚举，或者那些经常变化的枚举。除此之外，这对我来说是一个很好的解决方案。

如果你来这里是为了实现一个简单的“Enum”，但其值是字符串而不是int，这里有一个最简单的解决方案:

    public sealed class MetricValueList
    {
        public static readonly string Brand = "A4082457-D467-E111-98DC-0026B9010912";
        public static readonly string Name = "B5B5E167-D467-E111-98DC-0026B9010912";
    }

实现:

var someStringVariable = MetricValueList.Brand;

我创建了一个基类，用于在. net中创建字符串值的枚举。它只是一个c#文件，你可以复制粘贴到你的项目中，或者通过名为StringEnum的NuGet包安装。GitHub回购

如果类被注释为xml comment <completitionlist>，智能感知将提示枚举名称。(适用于c#和VB)

类似于普通enum的用法:

///<completionlist cref="HexColor"/> 
class HexColor : StringEnum<HexColor>
{
    public static readonly HexColor Blue = Create("#FF0000");
    public static readonly HexColor Green = Create("#00FF00");
    public static readonly HexColor Red = Create("#000FF");
}

    // Static Parse Method
    HexColor.Parse("#FF0000") // => HexColor.Red
    HexColor.Parse("#ff0000", caseSensitive: false) // => HexColor.Red
    HexColor.Parse("invalid") // => throws InvalidOperationException

    // Static TryParse method.
    HexColor.TryParse("#FF0000") // => HexColor.Red
    HexColor.TryParse("#ff0000", caseSensitive: false) // => HexColor.Red
    HexColor.TryParse("invalid") // => null

    // Parse and TryParse returns the preexistent instances
    object.ReferenceEquals(HexColor.Parse("#FF0000"), HexColor.Red) // => true

    // Conversion from your `StringEnum` to `string`
    string myString1 = HexColor.Red.ToString(); // => "#FF0000"
    string myString2 = HexColor.Red; // => "#FF0000" (implicit cast)

Instalation:

将下面的StringEnum基类粘贴到项目中。(最新版本) 或者安装StringEnum NuGet包，它基于。net Standard 1.0，所以它可以运行在。net Core >= 1.0， . net Framework >= 4.5, Mono >= 4.6等等。

我想把这篇文章作为下面引用的帖子的评论，但不能，因为我没有足够的代表。代码包含一个错误，我想向试图使用这个解决方案的个人指出这一点:

[TypeConverter typeof (CustomEnumTypeConverter (typeof (MyEnum))) public enum MyEnum ｛ //自定义类型转换器将使用description属性 [描述(“自定义描述”)] ValueWithCustomDescription, //这将完全暴露。 确切的 ｝

应该是

[TypeConverter(typeof(CustomEnumTypeConverter<MyEnum>))]
public enum MyEnum
{
  // The custom type converter will use the description attribute
  [Description("A custom description")]
  ValueWithCustomDescription,

  // This will be exposed exactly.
  Exact
}
