我总是习惯于得到一个枚举值的列表，就像这样:

Array list = Enum.GetValues(typeof (SomeEnum));

public class NameValue
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public object Value { get; set; }
}

public class NameValue
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public object Value { get; set; }
}

public static List<NameValue> EnumToList<T>()
{
    var array = (T[])(Enum.GetValues(typeof(T)).Cast<T>()); 
    var array2 = Enum.GetNames(typeof(T)).ToArray<string>(); 
    List<NameValue> lst = null;
    for (int i = 0; i < array.Length; i++)
    {
        if (lst == null)
            lst = new List<NameValue>();
        string name = array2[i];
        T value = array[i];
        lst.Add(new NameValue { Name = name, Value = value });
    }
    return lst;
}

转换枚举到一个列表更多的信息可在这里。

这里很有用…将值转换为列表的代码，将枚举转换为文本的可读形式

public class KeyValuePair
  {
    public string Key { get; set; }

    public string Name { get; set; }

    public int Value { get; set; }

    public static List<KeyValuePair> ListFrom<T>()
    {
      var array = (T[])(Enum.GetValues(typeof(T)).Cast<T>());
      return array
        .Select(a => new KeyValuePair
          {
            Key = a.ToString(),
            Name = a.ToString().SplitCapitalizedWords(),
            Value = Convert.ToInt32(a)
          })
          .OrderBy(kvp => kvp.Name)
         .ToList();
    }
  }

. .以及配套系统。字符串扩展方法:

/// <summary>
/// Split a string on each occurrence of a capital (assumed to be a word)
/// e.g. MyBigToe returns "My Big Toe"
/// </summary>
public static string SplitCapitalizedWords(this string source)
{
  if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(source)) return String.Empty;
  var newText = new StringBuilder(source.Length * 2);
  newText.Append(source[0]);
  for (int i = 1; i < source.Length; i++)
  {
    if (char.IsUpper(source[i]))
      newText.Append(' ');
    newText.Append(source[i]);
  }
  return newText.ToString();
}

private List<SimpleLogType> GetLogType()
{
  List<SimpleLogType> logList = new List<SimpleLogType>();
  SimpleLogType internalLogType;
  foreach (var logtype in Enum.GetValues(typeof(Log)))
  {
    internalLogType = new SimpleLogType();
    internalLogType.Id = (int) (Log) Enum.Parse(typeof (Log), logtype.ToString(), true);
    internalLogType.Name = (Log)Enum.Parse(typeof(Log), logtype.ToString(), true);
    logList.Add(internalLogType);
  }
  return logList;
}

在top Code中，Log是一个枚举，SimpleLogType是一个日志结构。

public enum Log
{
  None = 0,
  Info = 1,
  Warning = 8,
  Error = 3
}

如果你想Enum int作为键和名称作为值，如果你存储的数字到数据库，它是从Enum!

void Main()
{
     ICollection<EnumValueDto> list = EnumValueDto.ConvertEnumToList<SearchDataType>();

     foreach (var element in list)
     {
        Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Key: {0}; Value: {1}", element.Key, element.Value));
     }

     /* OUTPUT:
        Key: 1; Value: Boolean
        Key: 2; Value: DateTime
        Key: 3; Value: Numeric         
     */
}

public class EnumValueDto
{
    public int Key { get; set; }

    public string Value { get; set; }

    public static ICollection<EnumValueDto> ConvertEnumToList<T>() where T : struct, IConvertible
    {
        if (!typeof(T).IsEnum)
        {
            throw new Exception("Type given T must be an Enum");
        }

        var result = Enum.GetValues(typeof(T))
                         .Cast<T>()
                         .Select(x =>  new EnumValueDto { Key = Convert.ToInt32(x), 
                                       Value = x.ToString(new CultureInfo("en")) })
                         .ToList()
                         .AsReadOnly();

        return result;
    }
}

public enum SearchDataType
{
    Boolean = 1,
    DateTime,
    Numeric
}

Language[] result = (Language[])Enum.GetValues(typeof(Language))
