This is an update to Ray Booysen's code that uses the generic GetCustomAttributes method and LINQ to make things a bit tidier.

    /// 

    /// Gets the value of the  on an struct, including enums.  
    /// 
    /// The type of the struct.
    /// A value of type 
    /// If the struct has a Description attribute, this method returns the description.  Otherwise it just calls ToString() on the struct.
    /// Based on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/479410/enum-tostring/479417#479417, but useful for any struct.
    public static string GetDescription(this T enumerationValue) where T : struct
    {
        return enumerationValue.GetType().GetMember(enumerationValue.ToString())
                .SelectMany(mi => mi.GetCustomAttributes(false),
                    (mi, ca) => ca.Description)
                .FirstOrDefault() ?? enumerationValue.ToString();
    }
