Enum value to string

Question

Does anyone know how to get enum values to string?

example:

private static void PullReviews(string action, HttpContext context)
{
    switch (action)
            


        

Answer 1

This code is gonna works.

private enum ProductReviewType{good, bad};

private static void PullReviews(string action)
{
    string goodAction = Enum.GetName(typeof(ProductReviewType), ProductReviewType.good);
    string badAction = Enum.GetName(typeof(ProductReviewType), ProductReviewType.bad);
    if (action == goodAction)
    {
        PullGoodReviews();
    }
    else if (action == badAction)
    {
        PullBadReviews();
    }
}

public static void PullGoodReviews()
{
    Console.WriteLine("GOOD Review!");
}

public static void PullBadReviews()
{
    Console.WriteLine("BAD Review...");
}

Since the parsed string is not constant it can not be used by Switch statement. Compiled in VS2005

You can use another temp variable to save the Type of enum class, this may improve performance.
