Question

I have an enum where each member has a custom attribute applied to it. How can I retrieve the value stored in each attribute?

Right now I do this:

Answer 1

There is another method to do this with generics:

public static T GetAttribute(Enum enumValue) where T: Attribute
{
    T attribute;

    MemberInfo memberInfo = enumValue.GetType().GetMember(enumValue.ToString())
                                    .FirstOrDefault();

    if (memberInfo != null)
    {
        attribute = (T) memberInfo.GetCustomAttributes(typeof (T), false).FirstOrDefault();
        return attribute;
    }
    return null;
}
