Get name of Enum instance [closed]

问题

Say I have this enum:

public enum MyEnum{
    ValueOne = 1,
    ValueTwo = 2,
    ValueThree = 3
}

And then this field/variable:

public MyEnum myEnumInstance = MyEnum.ValueTwo;

I need to get the name of myEnumInstance via reflection from another class.

I tried:

myClassInstance.GetType().GetField("myEnumInstance").GetValue(myClassInstance)

Which always returns ValueOne, no matter what myEnumInstance is set to.

How can I get the string value/name of the enum field via reflection?

回答1:

You don't need reflection. You just need to call .ToString().

myEnumInstance.ToString();

which will output "ValueTwo";

However, if you insist on using reflection, the following example works just fine:

var myClassInstance = new MyClass();
myClassInstance.GetType()
               .GetField("myEnumInstance")
               .GetValue(myClassInstance);

public enum MyEnum
{
    ValueOne = 1,
    ValueTwo = 2,
    ValueThree = 3
}

public class MyClass
{
    public MyEnum myEnumInstance = MyEnum.ValueTwo;
}

Note that in C#6 you can also use nameof for some strongly-typed syntactic sugar:

myClassInstance.GetType()
               .GetField(nameof(myEnumInstance))
               .GetValue(myClassInstance);

If you are STILL not able to access the field, it is because it is not public as described in your sample code, in which you'd need to pass in the appropriate binding flags.

myClassInstance
    .GetType()
    .GetField(nameof(myEnumInstance), 
        BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.GetField | BindingFlags.Instance)
    .GetValue(myClassInstance);
