How to tell JSON.NET StringEnumConverter to take DisplayName?

Question

I\'ve got the following model:

public enum Status
{
    [Display(Name = \"Awaiting Approval\")]
    AwaitingApproval,
    Rejected,
    Accepted,
}

Answer 1

I tried this and got the error type or namespace enum member could not be found... So you guys might get this error too so you need to use

using System.Runtime.Serialization;

and still you get this error then add a reference like below:

Right click on your project -> Add -> Reference.. -> Assemblies -> Mark System.Runtime.Serialization (i have 4.0.0.0 version ) -> Ok

Now you can proceed like this:

[JsonConverter(typeof(StringEnumConverter))]
public enum Status
{
    [EnumMember(Value = "Awaiting Approval")]
    AwaitingApproval,
    Rejected,
    Accepted,
}
