Answer 1

If you've come here looking to implement a simple "Enum" but whose values are strings instead of ints, here is the simplest solution:

    public sealed class MetricValueList
    {
        public static readonly string Brand = "A4082457-D467-E111-98DC-0026B9010912";
        public static readonly string Name = "B5B5E167-D467-E111-98DC-0026B9010912";
    }

Implementation:

var someStringVariable = MetricValueList.Brand;
