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(); }

我很清楚这个问题已经被回答了，而且OP已经对接受的答案感到满意。但我发现大多数答案，包括公认的答案，都有点复杂。

我有一个项目给了我这样的情况，我能够以这种方式实现它。

首先，你必须考虑枚举名称的大小写:

public enum AuthenticationMethod
{
    Forms = 1,
    WindowsAuthentication = 2,
    SingleSignOn = 3
}

然后，有这个扩展:

using System.Text.RegularExpression;

public static class AnExtension
{
    public static string Name(this Enum value)
    {
        string strVal = value.ToString();
        try
        {
            return Regex.Replace(strVal, "([a-z])([A-Z])", "$1 $2");
        }
        catch
        {
        }
        return strVal;
    }
}

通过这种方法，您可以将每个枚举名称转换为字符串表示形式，每个单词用空格分隔。例:

AuthenticationMethod am = AuthenticationMethod.WindowsAuthentication;
MessageBox.Show(am.Name());

在你的问题中，你从未说过你实际上需要枚举的数值。

如果你不这样做，只是需要一个string类型的枚举(这不是一个整型，所以不能是enum的基)这里有一个方法:

    static class AuthenticationMethod
    {
        public static readonly string
            FORMS = "Forms",
            WINDOWSAUTHENTICATION = "WindowsAuthentication";
    }

您可以使用与enum相同的语法来引用它

if (bla == AuthenticationMethod.FORMS)

它将比使用数值(比较字符串而不是数字)稍微慢一些，但从好的方面来看，它不使用反射(慢)来访问字符串。

老帖子，但是…

这个问题的答案其实很简单。使用enumel . tostring()函数

这个函数有6个重载，你可以使用enumenumtostring ("F")或enumenumtostring()来返回字符串值。没必要为其他事操心。这是一个正在运行的演示

注意，这个解决方案可能不适用于所有编译器(这个演示没有像预期的那样工作)，但至少它适用于最新的编译器。

我使用了上述几个建议的组合，并结合了一些缓存。现在，我从网上找到的一些代码中得到了这个想法，但我既不记得是从哪里得到的，也不记得是怎么找到的。所以如果有人发现了一些相似的东西，请在归因处发表评论。

无论如何，使用涉及到类型转换器，所以如果你绑定到UI，它'只是工作'。您可以使用Jakub的模式进行扩展，通过从类型转换器初始化到静态方法来实现快速代码查找。

基本使用量是这样的

[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
}

自定义枚举类型转换器的代码如下:

public class CustomEnumTypeConverter<T> : EnumConverter
    where T : struct
{
    private static readonly Dictionary<T,string> s_toString = 
      new Dictionary<T, string>();

    private static readonly Dictionary<string, T> s_toValue = 
      new Dictionary<string, T>();

    private static bool s_isInitialized;

    static CustomEnumTypeConverter()
    {
        System.Diagnostics.Debug.Assert(typeof(T).IsEnum,
          "The custom enum class must be used with an enum type.");
    }

    public CustomEnumTypeConverter() : base(typeof(T))
    {
        if (!s_isInitialized)
        {
            Initialize();
            s_isInitialized = true;
        }
    }

    protected void Initialize()
    {
        foreach (T item in Enum.GetValues(typeof(T)))
        {
            string description = GetDescription(item);
            s_toString[item] = description;
            s_toValue[description] = item;
        }
    }

    private static string GetDescription(T optionValue)
    {
        var optionDescription = optionValue.ToString();
        var optionInfo = typeof(T).GetField(optionDescription);
        if (Attribute.IsDefined(optionInfo, typeof(DescriptionAttribute)))
        {
            var attribute = 
              (DescriptionAttribute)Attribute.
                 GetCustomAttribute(optionInfo, typeof(DescriptionAttribute));
            return attribute.Description;
        }
        return optionDescription;
    }

    public override object ConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext context, 
       System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture, 
       object value, Type destinationType)
    {
        var optionValue = (T)value;

        if (destinationType == typeof(string) && 
            s_toString.ContainsKey(optionValue))
        {
            return s_toString[optionValue];
        }

        return base.ConvertTo(context, culture, value, destinationType);
    }

    public override object ConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext context, 
       System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture, object value)
    {
        var stringValue = value as string;

        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(stringValue) && s_toValue.ContainsKey(stringValue))
        {
            return s_toValue[stringValue];
        }

        return base.ConvertFrom(context, culture, value);
    }
}

}

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;
    }

}
