可能重复:
通过其描述属性查找枚举值

我有一个通用的扩展方法,它Description从以下方式获取属性Enum:

enum Animal
{
    [Description("")]
    NotSet = 0,

    [Description("Giant Panda")]
    GiantPanda = 1,

    [Description("Lesser Spotted Anteater")]
    LesserSpottedAnteater = 2
}

public static string GetDescription(this Enum value)
{            
    FieldInfo field = value.GetType().GetField(value.ToString());

    DescriptionAttribute attribute
            = Attribute.GetCustomAttribute(field, typeof(DescriptionAttribute))
                as DescriptionAttribute;

    return attribute == null ? value.ToString() : attribute.Description;
}

所以我可以......

string myAnimal = Animal.GiantPanda.GetDescription(); // = "Giant Panda"

现在,我正试图在另一个方向上找出等效函数,比如......

Animal a = (Animal)Enum.GetValueFromDescription("Giant Panda", typeof(Animal));
