获取Enum <T>值描述

Question

我有我的enumHelper类包含这些:

public static IList<T> GetValues()
{
  IList<T> list = new List<T>();
  foreach (object value in Enum.GetValues(typeof(T)))
  {
    list.Add((T)value);
  }
  return list;
}

和

public static string Description(Enum value)
{
  Attribute DescAttribute = LMIGHelper.GetAttribute(value, typeof(DescriptionAttribute));
  if (DescAttribute == null)
    return value.ToString();
  else
    return ((DescriptionAttribute)DescAttribute).Description;
}

我的枚举是这样的:

public enum OutputType
{
    File,
    [Description("Data Table")]
    DataTable
}

到现在为止还挺好.所有以前的工作都很好.现在我想添加一个新的帮助器来返回BindingList>,所以我可以将任何枚举链接到任何组合使用

BindingList<KeyValuePair<OutputType, string>> list = Enum<OutputType>.GetBindableList();
cbo.datasource=list;
cbo.DisplayMember="Value";
cbo.ValueMember="Key";

为此,我补充说:

public static BindingList<KeyValuePair<T, string>> GetBindingList()
{
    BindingList<KeyValuePair<T, string>> list = new BindingList<KeyValuePair<T, string>>();
    foreach (T value in Enum<T>.GetValues())
    {
        string Desc = Enum<T>.Description(value);
        list.Add(new KeyValuePair<T, string>(value, Desc));
    }
    return list;
}

但"Enum.Description(value)"甚至没有编译:参数'1':无法从'T'转换为'System.Enum'

我怎样才能做到这一点？这甚至可能吗？

谢谢.

Answer 1

看看这篇文章.您可以使用System.ComponentModel.DescriptionAttribute或创建自己的属性来执行此操作:

/// <summary>
/// Provides a description for an enumerated type.
/// </summary>
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Enum | AttributeTargets.Field, 
 AllowMultiple = false)]
public sealed class EnumDescriptionAttribute :  Attribute
{
   private string description;

   /// <summary>
   /// Gets the description stored in this attribute.
   /// </summary>
   /// <value>The description stored in the attribute.</value>
   public string Description
   {
      get
      {
         return this.description;
      }
   }

   /// <summary>
   /// Initializes a new instance of the
   /// <see cref="EnumDescriptionAttribute"/> class.
   /// </summary>
   /// <param name="description">The description to store in this attribute.
   /// </param>
   public EnumDescriptionAttribute(string description)
       : base()
   {
       this.description = description;
   }
} 

然后,您需要使用此新属性修饰枚举值:

public enum SimpleEnum
{
   [EnumDescription("Today")]
   Today,

   [EnumDescription("Last 7 days")]
   Last7,

   [EnumDescription("Last 14 days")]
   Last14,

   [EnumDescription("Last 30 days")]
   Last30,

   [EnumDescription("All")]
   All
} 

所有"魔法"都发生在以下扩展方法中:

/// <summary>
/// Provides a static utility object of methods and properties to interact
/// with enumerated types.
/// </summary>
public static class EnumHelper
{
   /// <summary>
   /// Gets the <see cref="DescriptionAttribute" /> of an <see cref="Enum" /> 
   /// type value.
   /// </summary>
   /// <param name="value">The <see cref="Enum" /> type value.</param>
   /// <returns>A string containing the text of the
   /// <see cref="DescriptionAttribute"/>.</returns>
   public static string GetDescription(this Enum value)
   {
      if (value == null)
      {
         throw new ArgumentNullException("value");
      }

      string description = value.ToString();
      FieldInfo fieldInfo = value.GetType().GetField(description);
      EnumDescriptionAttribute[] attributes =
         (EnumDescriptionAttribute[])
       fieldInfo.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(EnumDescriptionAttribute), false);

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

   /// <summary>
   /// Converts the <see cref="Enum" /> type to an <see cref="IList" /> 
   /// compatible object.
   /// </summary>
   /// <param name="type">The <see cref="Enum"/> type.</param>
   /// <returns>An <see cref="IList"/> containing the enumerated
   /// type value and description.</returns>
   public static IList ToList(this Type type)
   {
      if (type == null)
      {
         throw new ArgumentNullException("type");
      }

      ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
      Array enumValues = Enum.GetValues(type);

      foreach (Enum value in enumValues)
      {
         list.Add(new KeyValuePair<Enum, string>(value, GetDescription(value)));
      }

      return list;
   }
} 

最后,您可以简单地绑定组合框:

combo.DataSource = typeof(SimpleEnum).ToList();

Answer 2

Enum 没有 Description() 方法。您能做的最好的事情就是让您的枚举实现一个具有 Description() 方法的接口。如果你这样做，那么你就可以拥有

public static BindingList<KeyValuePair<T extends _interface_, String>> getBindingList()

然后在里面你可以参考

T foo = ...?
foo.Description(...);
