Splitting CamelCase

Question

This is all asp.net c#.

I have an enum

public enum ControlSelectionType 
{
    NotApplicable = 1,
    SingleSelectRadioButtons = 2,
    SingleSelectD

Indeed a regex/replace is the way to go as described in the other answer, however this might also be of use to you if you wanted to go a different direction

    using System.ComponentModel;
    using System.Reflection;

...

    public static string GetDescription(System.Enum value)
    {
        FieldInfo fi = value.GetType().GetField(value.ToString());
        DescriptionAttribute[] attributes = (DescriptionAttribute[])fi.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DescriptionAttribute), false);
        if (attributes.Length > 0)
            return attributes[0].Description;
        else
            return value.ToString();
    }

this will allow you define your Enums as

public enum ControlSelectionType 
{
    [Description("Not Applicable")]
    NotApplicable = 1,
    [Description("Single Select Radio Buttons")]
    SingleSelectRadioButtons = 2,
    [Description("Completely Different Display Text")]
    SingleSelectDropDownList = 3,
}
