I want to set the space on my enum. Here is my code sample:

    goodBoy=1,
    BadBoy
}

I want to set

Answer 1

Based on Smac's suggestion, I've added an extension method for ease, since I'm seeing a lot of people still having issues with this.

I've used the annotations and a helper extension method.

Enum definition:

internal enum TravelClass
{
    [Description("Economy With Restrictions")]
    EconomyWithRestrictions,
    [Description("Economy Without Restrictions")]
    EconomyWithoutRestrictions
}

Extension class definition:

internal static class Extensions
{
    public static string ToDescription(this Enum value)
    {
        FieldInfo field = value.GetType().GetField(value.ToString());
        DescriptionAttribute attribute = Attribute.GetCustomAttribute(field, typeof(DescriptionAttribute)) as DescriptionAttribute;
        return attribute == null ? value.ToString() : attribute.Description;
    }
}

Example using the enum:

var enumValue = TravelClass.EconomyWithRestrictions;
string stringValue = enumValue.ToDescription();

This will return Economy With Restrictions.

Hope this helps people out as a complete example. Once again, credit goes to Smac for this idea, I just completed it with the extension method.
