我确实有特定的要求，我需要使用与enum值相关联的文本枚举。例如，当我使用enum指定错误类型时，它需要描述错误细节。

public static class XmlEnumExtension
{
    public static string ReadXmlEnumAttribute(this Enum value)
    {
        if (value == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("value");
        var attribs = (XmlEnumAttribute[]) value.GetType().GetField(value.ToString()).GetCustomAttributes(typeof (XmlEnumAttribute), true);
        return attribs.Length > 0 ? attribs[0].Name : value.ToString();
    }

    public static T ParseXmlEnumAttribute<T>(this string str)
    {
        foreach (T item in Enum.GetValues(typeof(T)))
        {
            var attribs = (XmlEnumAttribute[])item.GetType().GetField(item.ToString()).GetCustomAttributes(typeof(XmlEnumAttribute), true);
            if(attribs.Length > 0 && attribs[0].Name.Equals(str)) return item;
        }
        return (T)Enum.Parse(typeof(T), str, true);
    }
}

public enum MyEnum
{
    [XmlEnum("First Value")]
    One,
    [XmlEnum("Second Value")]
    Two,
    Three
}

 static void Main()
 {
    // Parsing from XmlEnum attribute
    var str = "Second Value";
    var me = str.ParseXmlEnumAttribute<MyEnum>();
    System.Console.WriteLine(me.ReadXmlEnumAttribute());
    // Parsing without XmlEnum
    str = "Three";
    me = str.ParseXmlEnumAttribute<MyEnum>();
    System.Console.WriteLine(me.ReadXmlEnumAttribute());
    me = MyEnum.One;
    System.Console.WriteLine(me.ReadXmlEnumAttribute());
}

我将Vivek的解决方案封装到一个可以重用的实用程序类中。请注意，你仍然应该在你的类型上定义类型约束“where T: struct, IConvertible”。

using System;

internal static class EnumEnforcer
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Makes sure that generic input parameter is of an enumerated type.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T">Type that should be checked.</typeparam>
    /// <param name="typeParameterName">Name of the type parameter.</param>
    /// <param name="methodName">Name of the method which accepted the parameter.</param>
    public static void EnforceIsEnum<T>(string typeParameterName, string methodName)
        where T : struct, IConvertible
    {
        if (!typeof(T).IsEnum)
        {
            string message = string.Format(
                "Generic parameter {0} in {1} method forces an enumerated type. Make sure your type parameter {0} is an enum.",
                typeParameterName,
                methodName);

            throw new ArgumentException(message);
        }
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Makes sure that generic input parameter is of an enumerated type.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T">Type that should be checked.</typeparam>
    /// <param name="typeParameterName">Name of the type parameter.</param>
    /// <param name="methodName">Name of the method which accepted the parameter.</param>
    /// <param name="inputParameterName">Name of the input parameter of this page.</param>
    public static void EnforceIsEnum<T>(string typeParameterName, string methodName, string inputParameterName)
        where T : struct, IConvertible
    {
        if (!typeof(T).IsEnum)
        {
            string message = string.Format(
                "Generic parameter {0} in {1} method forces an enumerated type. Make sure your input parameter {2} is of correct type.",
                typeParameterName,
                methodName,
                inputParameterName);

            throw new ArgumentException(message);
        }
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Makes sure that generic input parameter is of an enumerated type.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T">Type that should be checked.</typeparam>
    /// <param name="exceptionMessage">Message to show in case T is not an enum.</param>
    public static void EnforceIsEnum<T>(string exceptionMessage)
        where T : struct, IConvertible
    {
        if (!typeof(T).IsEnum)
        {
            throw new ArgumentException(exceptionMessage);
        }
    }
}

如前所述;虽然这不能在源代码中表达，但实际上可以在IL级别上完成。 @Christopher current的回答显示了印度是怎么做的。

与Fodys插件extronstraints。Fody，有一种非常简单的方法，通过构建工具来实现这一点。只需将它们的nuget包(Fody, ExtraConstraints.Fody)添加到您的项目，并添加约束如下(摘录自ExtraConstraints自述):

public void MethodWithEnumConstraint<[EnumConstraint] T>() {...}

public void MethodWithTypeEnumConstraint<[EnumConstraint(typeof(ConsoleColor))] T>() {...}

Fody将为约束添加必要的IL。 还要注意约束委托的附加特性:

public void MethodWithDelegateConstraint<[DelegateConstraint] T> ()
{...}

public void MethodWithTypeDelegateConstraint<[DelegateConstraint(typeof(Func<int>))] T> ()
{...}

关于枚举，您可能还想注意非常有趣的Enums.NET。

因为Enum类型实现了IConvertible接口，一个更好的实现应该是这样的:

public T GetEnumFromString<T>(string value) where T : struct, IConvertible
{
   if (!typeof(T).IsEnum) 
   {
      throw new ArgumentException("T must be an enumerated type");
   }

   //...
}

这仍然允许传递实现IConvertible的值类型。不过机会很少。

如果之后可以使用直接施法，我猜你可以使用系统。必要时，在方法中枚举基类。您只需要小心地替换类型参数。所以这个方法的实现是这样的:

public static class EnumUtils
{
    public static Enum GetEnumFromString(string value, Enum defaultValue)
    {
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(value)) return defaultValue;
        foreach (Enum item in Enum.GetValues(defaultValue.GetType()))
        {
            if (item.ToString().ToLower().Equals(value.Trim().ToLower())) return item;
        }
        return defaultValue;
    }
}

然后你可以这样使用它:

var parsedOutput = (YourEnum)EnumUtils.GetEnumFromString(someString, YourEnum.DefaultValue);

我试着改进了一下代码:

public T LoadEnum<T>(string value, T defaultValue = default(T)) where T : struct, IComparable, IFormattable, IConvertible
{
    if (Enum.IsDefined(typeof(T), value))
    {
        return (T)Enum.Parse(typeof(T), value, true);
    }
    return defaultValue;
}
