Here i'm going to explain how you can create enum and get the Description of your enum
for instance
your enum class
public enum MyEnum
{
[Description("Invalid Email or Passwrod")]
INVALID_LOGIN = 2002
}
Now you want to get [Description("Invalid Email or Passwrod")] against INVALID_LOGIN ,so how you can achieve this its simple just follow the step
1-create a Static class ,in my case my static class name is
public static class BusinessManager and the my static method name with implimentation is below
public static string GetEnumDescription<T>(this T e) where T : IConvertible
{
string description = null;
if (e is MyEnum)
{
Type type = e.GetType();
Array values = System.Enum.GetValues(type);
foreach (int val in values)
{
if (val == e.ToInt32(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture))
{
var memInfo = type.GetMember(type.GetEnumName(val));
var descriptionAttributes = memInfo[0].GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DescriptionAttribute), false);
if (descriptionAttributes.Length > 0)
{
description = ((DescriptionAttribute)descriptionAttributes[0]).Description;
}
break;
}
}
}
return description;
}
2- so how can i call this in my desired code just follow as the below
MyEnum myEnum= MyEnum.INVALID_LOGIN ;
string dec = myEnum.GetEnumDescription();
