我真的很喜欢Jakub Šturc的答案，但它的缺点是不能与开关case语句一起使用。下面是他的回答的一个稍微修改的版本，可以与switch语句一起使用:

public sealed class AuthenticationMethod
{
    #region This code never needs to change.
    private readonly string _name;
    public readonly Values Value;

    private AuthenticationMethod(Values value, String name){
        this._name = name;
        this.Value = value;
    }

    public override String ToString(){
        return _name;
    }
    #endregion

    public enum Values
    {
        Forms = 1,
        Windows = 2,
        SSN = 3
    }

    public static readonly AuthenticationMethod FORMS = new AuthenticationMethod (Values.Forms, "FORMS");
    public static readonly AuthenticationMethod WINDOWSAUTHENTICATION = new AuthenticationMethod (Values.Windows, "WINDOWS");
    public static readonly AuthenticationMethod SINGLESIGNON = new AuthenticationMethod (Values.SSN, "SSN");
}

所以你得到了Jakub Šturc的答案的所有好处，另外我们可以像这样使用switch语句:

var authenticationMethodVariable = AuthenticationMethod.FORMS;  // Set the "enum" value we want to use.
var methodName = authenticationMethodVariable.ToString();       // Get the user-friendly "name" of the "enum" value.

// Perform logic based on which "enum" value was chosen.
switch (authenticationMethodVariable.Value)
{
    case authenticationMethodVariable.Values.Forms: // Do something
        break;
    case authenticationMethodVariable.Values.Windows: // Do something
        break;
    case authenticationMethodVariable.Values.SSN: // Do something
        break;      
}

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。

Enum.GetName(typeof(MyEnum), (int)MyEnum.FORMS)
Enum.GetName(typeof(MyEnum), (int)MyEnum.WINDOWSAUTHENTICATION)
Enum.GetName(typeof(MyEnum), (int)MyEnum.SINGLESIGNON)

输出是:

“形式”

“WINDOWSAUTHENTICATION”

“SINGLESIGNON”

您可以声明enum和字典，其中键将是枚举的值。以后，您可以参考字典来获取该值。因此，可以将形参作为枚举类型传递给函数，但要从字典中获取实际值:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace console_test
{
    class Program
    {
        #region SaveFormat
        internal enum SaveFormat
        {
            DOCX,
            PDF
        }

        internal static Dictionary<SaveFormat,string> DictSaveFormat = new Dictionary<SaveFormat, string>
        {
            { SaveFormat.DOCX,"This is value for DOCX enum item" },
            { SaveFormat.PDF,"This is value for PDF enum item" }
        };

        internal static void enum_value_test(SaveFormat save_format)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(DictSaveFormat[save_format]);
        }
        #endregion

        internal static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            enum_value_test(SaveFormat.DOCX);//Output: This is value for DOCX enum item
            Console.Write("Press any key to continue . . . ");
            Console.ReadKey(true);
        }
    }
}

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);
    }
}

}
