How can I get an enum value from its description?

Question

I have an enum representing all material assembly codes in the system:

public enum EAssemblyUnit
{
    [Description(\"UCAL1\")]
    eUCAL1,
    [Description(

You could also use Humanizer for that. To get the description you can use:

EAssemblyUnit.eUCAL1.Humanize();

and to get the enum back from the description you can use

"UCAL1".DehumanizeTo();
