C# Enum.ToString() with complete name

Question

I am searching a solution to get the complete String of an enum.

Example:

Public Enum Color
{
    Red = 1,
    Blue = 2
}
Color color = Color.Red;

/         


        

Answer 1

public static class Extensions
{
    public static string GetFullName(this Enum myEnum)
    {
      return string.Format("{0}.{1}", myEnum.GetType().Name, myEnum.ToString());
    }
}

usage:

Color color = Color.Red;
string fullName = color.GetFullName();

Note: I think GetType().Name is better that GetType().FullName
