Enum localization

Question

How do you localize enums for a ListBoxFor where multiple options are possible?

For example an enum that contains roles:

pu         


        

Answer 1

public enum RoleEnum
{
    Administrator = 4,
    Official = 1,
    Trader = 3,
    HeadOfOffice = 2
}
public static class RoleEnumExtension
{
    private static readonly ResourceManager Resource =
        new ResourceManager("Project.CommonResource", typeof(CommonResource).Assembly);

    public static string Display(this RoleEnum role)
    {
        return Resource.GetString("RoleType_" + role);
    }
}

You can use this as

RoleEnum.Administrator.Display()

Hope this will help to someone
