Get XmlEnumAttribute from enum

Question

I have enum:

public enum Operation {
    /// 
    [System.Xml.Serialization.XmlEnumAttribute(\"01\")]
    Item01,

    /// 
          


        

Answer 1

You have to use Reflection to get the attribute value:

var value = Operation.Item02;

var attributeValue = ((XmlEnumAttribute)typeof(Operation)
                        .GetMember(value.ToString())[0]
                        .GetCustomAttributes(typeof(XmlEnumAttribute), false)[0])
                        .Name;
