Get Enum value to show on Dropdownlist Asp.Net MVC

Question

I have an enum like this:

public enum PaymentType
{
    Self=1,
    Insurer=2,
    PrivateCompany=3
}

And I am showing it as select box opt

Answer 1

public enum PaymentType
{
        Self=1,
        Insurer=2,
        PrivateCompany=3
}

Get Self value:

int enumNumber = (int)PaymentType.Self; //enumNumber = 1

Exemple:

getEnum(PaymentType.Self);

private void getEnum(PaymentType t)
{
            string enumName = t.ToString();
            int enumNumber = (int)t;
            MessageBox.Show(enumName + ": " + enumNumber.ToString());
}
