当我遇到这样的问题时，我首先会试图找到以下几个问题的答案:

枚举值的名称是否足够友好，或者我需要提供更友好的名称? 我需要往返吗?也就是说，我是否需要将文本值解析为枚举值? 这是我需要为我的项目中的许多枚举做的事情，还是只有一个? 我将在什么样的UI元素中呈现这些信息-特别是，我将绑定到UI，还是使用属性表? 这需要本地化吗?

最简单的方法是使用Enum。GetValue(并使用枚举. parse支持往返)。正如Steve Mitcham所建议的那样，构建一个TypeConverter来支持UI绑定通常也是值得的。(在使用属性表时，没有必要构建TypeConverter，这是属性表的优点之一。尽管天晓得他们也有自己的问题。)

一般来说，如果上述问题的答案表明这是行不通的，我的下一步是创建和填充一个静态Dictionary<MyEnum，字符串>，或者可能是一个Dictionary<Type, Dictionary<int，字符串>>。我倾向于跳过中间的用属性装饰代码的步骤，因为接下来通常需要在部署后更改友好值(通常，但不总是，因为本地化)。

对于较大的字符串enum集，列出的示例可能会变得令人厌烦。如果您想要一个状态代码列表，或者其他基于字符串的枚举列表，那么属性系统使用起来很麻烦，而带有自身实例的静态类配置起来也很麻烦。对于我自己的解决方案，我使用了T4模板，以便更容易地使用字符串支持的枚举。结果与HttpMethod类的工作方式类似。

你可以这样使用它:

    string statusCode = ResponseStatusCode.SUCCESS; // Automatically converts to string when needed
    ResponseStatusCode codeByValueOf = ResponseStatusCode.ValueOf(statusCode); // Returns null if not found

    // Implements TypeConverter so you can use it with string conversion methods.
    var converter = System.ComponentModel.TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(typeof(ResponseStatusCode));
    ResponseStatusCode code = (ResponseStatusCode) converter.ConvertFromInvariantString(statusCode);

    // You can get a full list of the values
    bool canIterateOverValues = ResponseStatusCode.Values.Any(); 

    // Comparisons are by value of the "Name" property. Not by memory pointer location.
    bool implementsByValueEqualsEqualsOperator = "SUCCESS" == ResponseStatusCode.SUCCESS; 

你从Enum开始。tt文件。

<#@ include file="StringEnum.ttinclude" #>


<#+
public static class Configuration
{
    public static readonly string Namespace = "YourName.Space";
    public static readonly string EnumName = "ResponseStatusCode";
    public static readonly bool IncludeComments = true;

    public static readonly object Nodes = new
    {
        SUCCESS = "The response was successful.",
        NON_SUCCESS = "The request was not successful.",
        RESOURCE_IS_DISCONTINUED = "The resource requested has been discontinued and can no longer be accessed."
    };
}
#>

然后，添加StringEnum。ttinclude文件。

            return this.Name.GetHashCode();

}

我使用一个扩展方法:

public static class AttributesHelperExtension
    {
        public static string ToDescription(this Enum value)
        {
            var da = (DescriptionAttribute[])(value.GetType().GetField(value.ToString())).GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DescriptionAttribute), false);
            return da.Length > 0 ? da[0].Description : value.ToString();
        }
}

现在用:

public enum AuthenticationMethod
{
    [Description("FORMS")]
    FORMS = 1,
    [Description("WINDOWSAUTHENTICATION")]
    WINDOWSAUTHENTICATION = 2,
    [Description("SINGLESIGNON ")]
    SINGLESIGNON = 3
}

当你打电话时

AuthenticationMethod.FORMS.ToDescription()将得到“FORMS”。

用. net 4.0及以上版本解决这个问题非常简单。不需要其他代码。

public enum MyStatus
{
    Active = 1,
    Archived = 2
}

获取字符串about只需使用:

MyStatus.Active.ToString("f");

or

MyStatus.Archived.ToString("f");`

取值为Active或Archived。

当调用Enum时，查看不同的字符串格式(上面的“f”)。ToString参见此枚举格式字符串页面

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(); }

好吧，在阅读了以上所有内容后，我觉得这些家伙将枚举数转换为字符串的问题过于复杂了。 我喜欢在枚举字段上拥有属性的想法，但我认为属性主要用于元数据，但在你的情况下，我认为你所需要的只是某种本地化。

public enum Color 
{ Red = 1, Green = 2, Blue = 3}


public static EnumUtils 
{
   public static string GetEnumResourceString(object enumValue)
    {
        Type enumType = enumValue.GetType();
        string value = Enum.GetName(enumValue.GetType(), enumValue);
        string resourceKey = String.Format("{0}_{1}", enumType.Name, value);
        string result = Resources.Enums.ResourceManager.GetString(resourceKey);
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(result))
        {
            result = String.Format("{0}", value);
        }
        return result;
    }
}

现在如果我们尝试调用上面的方法，我们可以这样调用它

public void Foo()
{
  var col = Color.Red;
  Console.WriteLine (EnumUtils.GetEnumResourceString (col));
}

您所需要做的就是创建一个包含所有枚举值和相应字符串的资源文件

Resource Name          Resource Value
Color_Red              My String Color in Red
Color_Blue             Blueeey
Color_Green            Hulk Color

这样做的好处是，如果您需要本地化应用程序，它将非常有用，因为您所需要做的只是用新语言创建另一个资源文件!和Voe-la !
