c# - Enum String Name from Value




I have an enum construct like this:



public enum EnumDisplayStatus
{
None = 1,
Visible = 2,
Hidden = 3,
MarkedForDeletion = 4
}



In my database, the enumerations are referenced by value. My question is, how can I turn the number representation of the enum back to the string name.



For example, given 2 the result should be Visible.


Answer



You can convert the int back to an enumeration member with a simple cast, and then call ToString():



int value = GetValueFromDb();
var enumDisplayStatus = (EnumDisplayStatus)value;

string stringValue = enumDisplayStatus.ToString();
