在我的例子中，我需要从WCF服务返回枚举。我还需要一个友好的名称，而不仅仅是enum.ToString（）。

这是我的WCF类。

[DataContract]
public class EnumMember
{
    [DataMember]
    public string Description { get; set; }

    [DataMember]
    public int Value { get; set; }

    public static List<EnumMember> ConvertToList<T>()
    {
        Type type = typeof(T);

        if (!type.IsEnum)
        {
            throw new ArgumentException("T must be of type enumeration.");
        }

        var members = new List<EnumMember>();

        foreach (string item in System.Enum.GetNames(type))
        {
            var enumType = System.Enum.Parse(type, item);

            members.Add(
                new EnumMember() { Description = enumType.GetDescriptionValue(), Value = ((IConvertible)enumType).ToInt32(null) });
        }

        return members;
    }
}

下面是从Enum获取Description的Extension方法。

    public static string GetDescriptionValue<T>(this T source)
    {
        FieldInfo fileInfo = source.GetType().GetField(source.ToString());
        DescriptionAttribute[] attributes = (DescriptionAttribute[])fileInfo.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DescriptionAttribute), false);            

        if (attributes != null && attributes.Length > 0)
        {
            return attributes[0].Description;
        }
        else
        {
            return source.ToString();
        }
    }

实施：

return EnumMember.ConvertToList<YourType>();

您可以使用扩展方法。

public static class Extensions
{

    public static T ToEnum<T>(this string data) where T : struct
    {
        if (!Enum.TryParse(data, true, out T enumVariable))
        {
            if (Enum.IsDefined(typeof(T), enumVariable))
            {
                return enumVariable;
            }
        }

        return default;
    }

    public static T ToEnum<T>(this int data) where T : struct
    {
        return (T)Enum.ToObject(typeof(T), data);
    }
}

使用如下代码：

枚举：

public enum DaysOfWeeks
{
    Monday = 1,
    Tuesday = 2,
    Wednesday = 3,
    Thursday = 4,
    Friday = 5,
    Saturday = 6,
    Sunday = 7,
}

用法：

 string Monday = "Mon";
 int Wednesday = 3;
 var Mon = Monday.ToEnum<DaysOfWeeks>();
 var Wed = Wednesday.ToEnum<DaysOfWeeks>();

以以下示例为例：

int one = 1;
MyEnum e = (MyEnum)one;

只要投它：

MyEnum e = (MyEnum)3;

使用Enum.IsDefined检查它是否在范围内：

if (Enum.IsDefined(typeof(MyEnum), 3)) { ... }

简单地，可以将int强制转换为enum

 public enum DaysOfWeeks
    {
        Monday = 1,
        Tuesday = 2,
        Wednesday = 3,
        Thursday = 4,
        Friday = 5,
        Saturday = 6,
        Sunday = 7,
    } 

    var day= (DaysOfWeeks)5;
    Console.WriteLine("Day is : {0}", day);
    Console.ReadLine();

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

namespace SamplePrograme
{
    public class Program
    {
        public enum Suit : int
        {
            Spades = 0,
            Hearts = 1,
            Clubs = 2,
            Diamonds = 3
        }

        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            //from string
            Console.WriteLine((Suit) Enum.Parse(typeof(Suit), "Clubs"));

            //from int
            Console.WriteLine((Suit)1);

            //From number you can also
            Console.WriteLine((Suit)Enum.ToObject(typeof(Suit) ,1));
        }
    }
}
