Splitting CamelCase

Question

This is all asp.net c#.

I have an enum

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

The solution from Eoin Campbell works good except if you have a Web Service.

You would need to do the Following as the Description Attribute is not serializable.

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


public static string GetDescriptionFromEnumValue(Enum value)
{
    EnumMemberAttribute attribute = value.GetType()
        .GetField(value.ToString())
        .GetCustomAttributes(typeof(EnumMemberAttribute), false)
        .SingleOrDefault() as EnumMemberAttribute;
    return attribute == null ? value.ToString() : attribute.Value;
}
